classical (and fun) experiments in psychoacoustics?

[Marc Schoenwiesner <marcs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am starting a hands-on auditory experimentation course at the  
University of Montreal this fall, and I'd like for the students to  
experience some of the 'classical' experiments in psychoacoustics. My  
candidates so far are (versions of) loudness scaling, temporal  
integration of loudness, the lower limit of pitch, Patterson's notched  
noise method to measure critical bands, possibly some experiments on  
auditory aftereffects, categorical perception of vowels, masking (and  
how it relates to mp3 encoding), virtual pitch perception (missing  
fundamental), and one or two of Al Bregman's auditory streaming  
experiments.

Does anyone have a suggestion for other interesting/fun/instructive  
experiments? I am particular interested in strong perceptual effects  
that we would be able to measure in one session. The plan is to pose  
the problem, let the students come up with ideas for experiments, go  
through the experimental design process, and collect some data that  
can be compared to the original study.

Cheers,
Marc
