Abstract
Anecdotally, normal hearing listeners can attend to a single sound source in the presence of
other sound sources by forming auditory objects. This is commonly referred to as the cocktail
party effect. It is known that listeners use, among others, interaural disparities in time
and intensity (referred to as ITD and ILD, respectively) to localize a sound source.
An open question is, however, how ITD and ILD information is integrated over frequency,
and how streaming affects auditory object formation using interaural disparities. ITD weighting
functions were previously derived using inverted sensitivity thresholds of narrowband
signals (Stern et al., 1988). This method does not take binaural interference (McFadden and
Pasanen, 1976) into account and might not be applicable to more realistic broadband signals.
