Binaural modulation frequency selectivity is coarser than the monaural version
Evidence
Binaural modulation frequency selectivity seems to be less accurate than monaural modulation frequency selectivity (Thompson and Dau 2008 ). Thus, if binaural modulation frequency selectivity affects the dichotic off-frequency masked thresholds the mismatch of beating frequency between masker-target and interferer-masker should have less effect on threshold than for the diotic condition. The present data for the 800-Hz target support this hypothesis. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3463
As already shown in van de Par ( 2012 ), dichotic thresholds are also affected by the presence of an interferer. … Binaural modulation frequency selectivity seems to be less accurate than monaural modulation frequency selectivity (Thompson and Dau 2008 ). Thus, if binaural modulation frequency selectivity affects the dichotic off-frequency masked thresholds the mismatch of beating frequency between masker-target and interferer-masker should have less effect on threshold than for the diotic condition. The present data for the 800-Hz target support this hypothesis. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3498
