Figure 1. Auditory stream segregation of an alternating tone sequence.

Figure 1

A. Perception of the ABA- sequence. Depending on ITI and ΔF, ABA- sequence induces either segregated perception of A-tone and B-tone sequences (i) or integrated perception of the ABA- sequence (ii). B. The psychometric function in the ITI–ΔF plane (van Noorden, 1975). Segregated perception is induced in zone (i), whereas integrated perception is induced in zone (ii). The lower limit of segregated perception zone and the upper limit of integrated perception zone are the “temporal coherence boundary” and “fission boundary,” respectively. C. Putative probability of stream segregation at indicated cross-sections in the psychometric function B.
