Abstract

The relevance of comodulation and interaural phase difference for speech perception is still unclear. We used speech-like stimuli to link spectro-temporal properties of formants with masking release. The stimuli comprised a tone and three masker bands centered at formant frequencies F1, F2, and F3 derived from a consonant-vowel. The target was a diotic or dichotic frequency-modulated tone following F2 trajectories. Results showed a small comodulation masking release, while the binaural masking level difference was comparable to previous findings. The data suggest that factors other than comodulation may play a dominant role in grouping frequency components in speech.
