I wonder if = there is any other work done on the topic using music or similar stimuli = having more complex spectro-temporal characteristics.=20 Secondly, Dr. Divenyi and Prof. Blauert state in a previous article (of = 1992) that it may be tempting to explain precedence effect with a link = to monaural forward masking while they were unable to confirm such a = link in between at that time. I also wonder if there is any reference to = research after 1992 that investigated the topic. As far as I can see, = presence of such a link (if there exists such a thing in between at = all!) would be a good point of interest in terms of investigating = precedence effect in the musical domain. =20 ________________________________ Huseyin Hacihabiboglu, MSc Sonic Arts Research Centre ((SARC)) Queen's University Belfast, BT7 1NN Tel: ++44 (0) 28 9027 4761 Fax: ++44 (0) 28 9027 4828 ------=_NextPart_000_0011_01C28FEC.7E1897F0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2719.2200" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><!--StartFragment --><FONT face=3DArial size=3D1>Dear Auditory=20 List,<BR><BR>I've been looking at the <B>buildup</B> and = <B>breakdown</B> of the=20 precedence effect as explained by Rachel Clifton, Richard Freyman and = others.=20 Naturally, the previous research seems to be based on using the simplest = stimuli=20 possible (i.e. clicks, tones or at most speech fragments).
