Temporal integration up to 200 ms approximates masking for in-band signals

Evidence

With longer duration signals, however, it is necessary to consider how information is combined from different temporal ranges of the signal. If one uses 200 ms as the integration time, an improvement of about 12 dB between an average threshold for the 12-ms signal and that for the 300-ms signal in the MoSo-case should be expected. The median difference between the thresholds obtained with 12-ms signals averaged across all temporal ranges for each observer separately, and the result with the 300-ms signal is 13.7 dB in the MoSo-condition. For A1oS7r , the improvement is 13.3 dB. Thus, for simultaneous masking with signals having frequencies within the band of the masking noise, a straightforward temporal integration up to a duration of 200 ms seems to be a good approximation. — Professor Dr.-Ing.
