In response to Gregory Kramer's 50-250-ms optimum sonification range:
It is interesting to note that this range more-or-less coincides
with the one Hirsh calls the "auditory Gestalt range". Below 50 ms
the events (yes, I will convert to this nomenclature from "objects")
are too heavily influenced by peripheral processes, over 250 ms
the events become self-standing (=the syllable range).
