William Salloom, Post-Doctoral Researcher at USC, will present "Perceptual Masking and Cochlear Suppression Measured using Frequency Sweep" on Thursday, November 14 at 12:00 noon in Nelson 1215 and via Zoom.

Abstract: The auditory system's sensitivity to rapid frequency changes is crucial for speech and music perception. Human behavioral studies using frequency-modulated maskers have shown that the direction of modulation—either increasing or decreasing in frequency with time—significantly affects masked thresholds of a tonal signal. While this effect has traditionally been attributed to cochlear dispersion, recent animal studies suggest that nonlinear cochlear suppression may also be a key factor. To explore this, a combination of behavioral and otoacoustic measures was used to examine the roles of dispersion and suppression in normal-hearing humans.
