    Detecting temporal gaps in noiseband signals improves with higher frequencies. Auditory filter bandwidth, not just absolute bandwidth, influences gap detection thresholds, especially at lower frequencies.

    Area of Science:

    • Auditory Neuroscience
    • Psychoacoustics
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Temporal gap detection is crucial for speech and music perception.
    • Understanding the factors influencing gap detection thresholds is essential for audiological applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure the threshold for detecting a temporal gap in a noiseband.
    • To investigate the influence of center frequency, bandwidth, and signal level on gap detection.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a notched noise masker to isolate spectral regions.
    • Measured gap detection thresholds across various center frequencies (0.2-8.0 kHz) and bandwidths.
    • Assessed the effect of signal spectrum level on gap detection at selected frequencies.

    Main Results:

    • Gap detection thresholds decreased significantly with increasing center frequency.
    • A wideband condition yielded a gap threshold of 2.3 ms, consistent with prior research.
    • Increasing signal spectrum level improved gap detection up to 25 dB, with no further benefit at 40 dB.
    • At low frequencies (<1.0 kHz), gap detection variation correlated with auditory filter bandwidth, suggesting temporal limitations.

    Conclusions:

    • Auditory filter characteristics, particularly bandwidth, play a significant role in low-frequency temporal gap detection.
    • The temporal resolution of the auditory system improves with increasing frequency.
    • Findings have implications for understanding auditory processing and developing hearing aid strategies.
