I have also noticed that most of the stu= dies done recently of relatively novel stimuli for auditory sequential stre= am segregation try using a stimulus discrimination task before the streamin= g task to correlate both.( Eg. If amplitude modulated noise is used then in= itially a modulation rate discrimination task is used and then streaming). = I was wondering as to the importance of doing the discrimination task as I = noticed that in most of the circumstances streaming only occured when the t= wo stimuli were also perceptually discriminable=A0( i=A0mean the streaming = threshold=A0was above the discrimination threshold).=20 =A0 Regards, Imran Dhamani=A0 $$$$$ monty@xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx=0A=0A=0A Your Mail works best with the New Yahoo Optim= ized IE8.
