Auditory timing precision is determined by spectro-temporal continuity across sounds, not individual sound acoustics

Predicting when an event will occur is key to perceiving and evaluating dynamic sensory inputs, such as speech. The utility of temporal predictions hinges on perceptual timing precision (PTP), the sensitivity to deviations between actual and predicted sound onset times. Past work suggests that PTP is primarily determined by acoustic properties of target sounds, regardless of the acoustics of…
