Dear Auditory list members,

I have finally shipped copies of my CD to MIT Press.  They will
be sold both by the Press and myself.  Residents of the USA would
be better off ordering from the Press, since if the shipment
comes from Canada, there is a chance that they may have to pay
duty.  Residents of other countries may find it equally
convenient to order from me, since the duty should be no
different and the response time should be quicker:

DIOTIC DEMONSTRATIONS (binaural, mono)

SEQUENTIAL INTEGRATION
   1 Stream segregation in a cycle of six tones.
   2 Pattern recognition, within and across perceptual streams.
   3 Loss of rhythmic information as a result of stream
     segregation.
   4 Cumulative effects of repetition on streaming.
   5 Segregation of a melody from interfering tones.
   6 Segregation of high notes from low ones in a sonata by
     Telemann.

   8 Effects of a difference between pitch range of the two parts
     in East African xylophone music.
   9 Effects of timbre difference between the two parts in
     African xylophone music.
  10 Stream segregation based on spectral peak position.
  11 Stream segregation of vowels.
  12 Effects of connectedness on segregation.
  13 The effects of stream segregation on the judgment of timing.
  14 Stream segregation of high and low bands of noise
  15 Competition of frequency separations in the control of
     grouping.
  16 The release of a two-tone target by the capturing of
     interfering tones.
  17 Failure of crossing trajectories to cross perceptually.

SPECTRAL INTEGRATION

  30 Absence of pitch extrapolation in the restoration of the
     peaks in a rising and falling tone glide.
  31 The picket-fence effect with speech.
  32 Homophonic continuity and rise time.
  33 Creation of a high-pitched residual by capturing some
     harmonics from a complex tone.
  34 Capturing a low band of noise from a wider band leaving a
     high band as a residual.
  35 Perceptual organization of sequences of narrow-band noises.
  36 Capturing a component glide in a mixture of glides.
  37 Changing a vowel's quality by capturing a harmonic.
