[HTML][HTML] The role of temporal coherence and temporal predictability in the build-up of auditory grouping

J Sollini, KC Poole, D Blauth-Muszkowski, JK Bizley - Scientific Reports, 2022 - nature.com
The cochlea decomposes sounds into separate frequency channels, from which the auditory
brain must reconstruct the auditory scene. To do this the auditory system must make …
