Question: Do
receptors interfere with each other?
- Experiment:
Play 1 kHz tone (maskingtone) at fixed level (60 dB). Play
test tone at a different level (e.g., 1.1kHz), and raise level
until just distinguishable.
- Vary the frequency of the test tone and plot the threshold
when it becomes audible:
- Repeat for various frequencies of masking tones
