Those of us in the lab at the time found it to be out of place with the book as a whole because the book was pretty rigorous. I have always wanted to do a version where the face looked like Dave, but then I would need to do something binaural to justify use of the figure.

Shub Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 9:52 AM To: AUDITORY@xxxxxxxx Subject: Happy/Sad BMLD cartoon I am curious about the history of the cartoon which denotes the different stimulus configurations and the corresponding performance used in studies of binaural masking level differences. I did a quick web search for an example: http://drgeorgethomas.com/images/successpicture2.jpg This one looks like the version in Moore's book. My guess is Moore's artwork was original, but that he did not come up with the concept. I am curious as to who first conceptualize the BMLD with happy and sad faces. Thank you Dan
