Hello list! We are designing
an experiment that examines auditory spectro-temporal processing: “Subjects
will listen to three-tone sequences comprised of two complex tones and will be
asked to reproduce the order of the tones manually. Tones will have a frequency
of either 100Hz or 300Hz. The Inter-Stimulus-Interval (ISI) between the three
tones will vary in several steps (e.g. 5ms, 20ms, 50ms and 300ms). We are looking for a control
task that does not involve auditory temporal processing but it should still be
an auditory task and it should not produce ceiling effects. We thought about
amplitude/intensity discrimination with a very long ISI or environmental sound
categorization….any other thoughts or comments? Thanks a lot Nadine -- "If
