Loudness context effects comprise differences in judgments of the loudness of a target
stimulus depending on the presence of a preceding inducer tone. Interstimulus intervals …

Detection of a target tone in a simultaneous multi-tone masker can be improved by
preceding the stimulus with the masker alone. The mechanisms underlying this auditory …

Auditory enhancement refers to the observation that the salience of one spectral region (the
“signal”) of a broadband sound can be enhanced and can “pop out” from the remainder of …

Normal-hearing listeners' speech perception is widely influenced by spectral contrast effects
(SCEs), where perception of a given sound is biased away from stable spectral properties of …

Auditory enhancement, where a target sound within a masker is rendered more audible by
the prior presentation of the masker alone, may play an important role in auditory perception …

Auditory enhancement is the phenomenon whereby the salience or detectability of a target
sound within a masker is enhanced by the prior presentation of the masker alone …

Abstract Background and Objective: Cochlear implants make high-frequency information
audible for patients, which is usually impossible using hearing aids. This study was …

The loudness of a tone can be reduced by preceding it with a more intense tone. This effect,
known as induced loudness reduction (ILR), has been reported to last for several seconds …

In this paper I challenge the widely held assumption that loudness is the perceptual
correlate of sound intensity. Drawing on psychological and neuroscientific evidence, I argue …

The visual effects of psychedelic drugs are well-known but not well understood. In this
dissertation, I investigate psychedelic visual phenomenology. I provide evidence and …
