Temporal integration of two-component tone glides.
Temporal integration of complex signals composed of two linearly combined tone glides was studied in a 60-dB SPL noise background. When both glide tones increased or decreased in frequency, integration functions differed for durations shorter than 50 ms in a manner similar to results obtained for single-component tone glides. That is, rising two-component glides were detected at lower thresholds than were falling two-component glides. However, when one component increased in frequency and the other decreased, thresholds were the same, regardless of which component increased and which decreased.
