Subject: Re: streams and groups From: Al Bregman <BREGMAN(at)PSYCH.MCGILL.CA> Date: Thu, 10 May 2001 22:31:54 -0400Hi Tony and List, I know what a stream is -- a time-varying sound or sequence of sounds, treated by the auditory system as coming from a single sound source. However, I don't know what is meant by a group. Perhaps the context in which this term was found would be informative. How was it used in the original source?
