The continuity illusion adapts to the auditory scene
Hearing Research , 01/06/09

Riecke L et al. - In the first experiment, listeners adapted to illusory and non-illusory tone sweeps and interrupting noise, and authors observed that the perceived continuity of the target and the loudness of the interrupting noise influenced the extent of subsequent restorations. A second experiment revealed that these adaptation effects were unrelated to the adapted spectra, indicating that non-sensory representations of the perceived auditory scene were involved. The authors argue that auditory restoration is a dynamic illusory phenomenon which recalibrates continuity hearing to different acoustic environments.
