Abstract
The illusion of a soft tone sounding continuous when it was actually alternating with a burst of louder noise was studied in humans. Brief changes in the amplitude of tones, introduced before and after the noise burst, reduced the illusion of continuity; this reduction was greater when the amplitude decreased rather than increased before the noise. Lack of edge information was implicated in the illusion of continuity.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
