Figure 1.

Schematic illustrations of three popular stimulation paradigms in the study of auditory scene analysis and conscious auditory perception. (a) The ABA-streaming paradigm, in which the same physical stimulus can give rise to two different percepts (one stream or two). (b) The jittered multitone masker paradigm, in which the regularly repeating target tones (shown in blue) are only sometimes perceived. (c) The stochastic figure-ground paradigm, where the coherence of certain spectral elements in and across time can give rise to the perception of an auditory figure distinct from the background.
