title: The periodicity of forward-masked auditory pip-detection thresholds, predicted from the output power of the auditory filter during ringing.
abstract: The plot of detection thresholds vs. time for a forward-masked Gaussian-shaped 2 kHz pip (S.D.=0.5 ms) shows a noisy 'fine structure' that disappears with across-subject averaging. The averaging uncovers a slower threshold periodicity, that can be predicted from the output power of the auditory filter during extended ringing.
