The effect of onset interaural time differences (ITDs) on lateralization and detection was investigated for broadband pulse trains 250 ms long with a binaural fundamental frequency of 250 Hz. Within each train, ITDs of successive binaural pulse pairs alternated between two of three values (0 micros, 500 micros left-leading, and 500 micros right-leading) or were invariant. For the alternating conditions, the experimental manipulation was the choice of which of two ITDs was presented first (i.e., at stimulus onset). Lateralization, which was estimated using a broadband noise pointer with a listener adjustable interaural delay, was determined largely by the onset ITD. However, detection thresholds for the signals in left-leading or diotic continuous broadband noise were not affected by where the signals were lateralized. A quantitative analysis suggested that binaural masked thresholds for the pulse trains were well accounted for by the level and phase of harmonic components at 500 and 750 Hz. Detection thresholds obtained for brief stimuli (two binaural pulse or noise burst pairs) were also independent of which of two ITDs was presented first. The control of lateralization by onset cues appears to be based on mechanisms not essential for binaural detection. |
