  • Title: Modulation cues influence binaural masking-level difference in masking-pattern experiments.
    Author: Nitschmann M, Verhey JL.
    Journal: J Acoust Soc Am; 2012 Mar; 131(3):EL223-8. PubMed ID: 22423812.
    Abstract:
    Binaural masking patterns show a steep decrease in the binaural masking-level difference (BMLD) when masker and signal have no frequency component in common. Experimental threshold data are presented together with model simulations for a diotic masker centered at 250 or 500 Hz and a bandwidth of 10 or 100 Hz masking a sinusoid interaurally in phase (S(0)) or in antiphase (S(π)). Simulations with a binaural model, including a modulation filterbank for the monaural analysis, indicate that a large portion of the decrease in the BMLD in remote-masking conditions may be due to an additional modulation cue available for monaural detection.
