Binaural masking release can be tested under non-simultaneous masking conditions

Evidence

All BMLDs described so far have been produced under simultaneous presentation, i.e. the masker and test signal are presented at the same time. It is very interesting to see whether BMLDs can also be produced under conditions of non-simultaneous masking. — Professor Dr.-Ing. Hugo Fastl, Professor Dr.-Ing.

It is very interesting to see whether BMLDs can also be produced under conditions of non-simultaneous masking. The results of such a condition are outlined in Fig. 15.3a,b. The temporal conditions of masker and test sound are indicated in the insets. Post masking thresholds LT of the lO-ms, 800- Hz test tones masked by uniform masking noise bursts of 300 ms duration (LM = 70 dB), are shown as a function of delay time td between the end of the masker and the end of the test signal for NaSa-configuration (open circles) and NoS 7r-configuration (dots) in part (a) of the figure. — Professor Dr.-Ing.

Categorization

• DEFINE: Contrasts simultaneous vs. non-simultaneous masking as experimental conditions for BMLD measurement.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Professor Dr.-Ing. Hugo Fastl, Professor Dr.-Ing. Eberhard, Psychoacoustics- Facts and Models, 1637
