excitation pattern
excitation pattern An excitation pattern is a way of modeling how the auditory system responds across a sound band so researchers can predict how other sounds, such as masking noise, change what can be detected.
An excitation pattern is a way of modeling how the auditory system responds across a sound band so researchers can predict how other sounds, such as masking noise, change what can be detected. In this study, an excitation-pattern model was used to explain masking effects through changes such as reduced ripple depth and broader auditory filtering at high sound levels.
