TLDR
Amplitude‐discrimination performance is found to be independent of the duration of the signals to be discriminated for durations ranging from 20 to 200 msec provided that the ratio of signal energy to noise‐power density is kept constant.
Abstract
Amplitude‐discrimination performance is found to be independent of the duration of the signals to be discriminated for durations ranging from 20 to 200 msec provided that the ratio of signal energy to noise‐power density is kept constant. If the ratio of signal energy to noise‐power density is manipulated by altering either the noise‐power density or the signal duration, then discrimination performance is also independent of that ratio once it exceeds 20 dB. The implication of these findings is discussed.

External and internal limitations in amplitude-modulation processing

TL;DR: The predictions revealed that AM-depth discrimination and AM detection are limited by a combination of the external signal variability and an internal "Weber-fraction" noise process.

Measurement of the Two‐Click Threshold

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that discrimination of slight changes in the power spectrum of the two transient signals underlies the ear's sensitivity to a temporal discontinuity, especially in the high frequency region (8000 Hz and above).

Some effects of bandwith-duration constraints on frequency discrimination.

TL;DR: The frequency‐discrimination data indicate that equating signal bandwidth in this way does not serve to make the signals equally discrimina...

Binaural masking-level differences with tonal maskers.

TL;DR: Both sets of results suggest that monaural and binaural time constants have similar values and that the hearing system does not seem particularly 'sluggish' with the paradigms the authors used.

Auditory spectro-temporal processing in the envelope-frequency domain: experiments and models

Stephan Ewert
TL;DR: A functional model of hearing is proposed that successfully accounts for the empirical data and shows that the frequency selectivity in the envelope-frequency domain reflects a "true" limited-resolution spectral decomposition, and not a selective process tuned to different repetition rates of the envelope.
