Listeners were asked to detect interaural differences of intensity in trains of 4000-Hz clicks as the interclick interval (ICI) was varied from 10 to 1 ms and the number of clicks in a train (n) was varied from 1 to 32. As has previously been shown for differences of time [Hafter and Dye, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 73, 644-651 (1983)], plots of log interaural threshold versus log n produced slopes that decrease with ICI. These results are explained in terms of a saturation model which argues that as the click rate increases, the evoked neural activity changes from what is essentially a tonic response toward one that is more phasic. |
