    Area of Science:

    • Acoustics and Signal Processing
    • Auditory Perception

    Background:

    • Effective masking is crucial for understanding auditory perception and signal processing.
    • Defining the boundaries of masking is essential for accurate psychoacoustic measurements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To formally define the masking plateau based on effective masking.
    • To develop formulas characterizing different masking levels: under-masking, minimum masking, plateau, maximum masking, and overmasking.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual definition of the masking plateau.
    • Mathematical formulation of masking conditions.

    Main Results:

    • A clear definition of the masking plateau is established.
    • Formulas are derived to delineate conditions of under-masking, minimum masking, plateau, maximum masking, and overmasking.
