MASKING AND BINAURAL PHENOMENA.

Abstract

Recent work on the subject of masking is summarized, particularly the masking of tonal signals by Gaussian noise. Various theories of masking and of auditory function are discussed with considerable emphasis on the theory of signal detectability. The vector theory of binaural unmasking is presented, with some discussion of the possible underlying neurophysiological machinery.
