Effect of increased protected band on signal detection thresholds.

<p>Capital letters on abscissa correspond to peripheral (P) and central (C, R) maskers in both timing conditions. Signal detection thresholds (<i>re</i> each CI listener’s median, synchronous C threshold) are plotted as a function of stimulus. Three protected band conditions were tested at a masker level of 30% dynamic range (DR): (A) ±3, (B) ±5 and (C) ±7 electrodes (EL). All other conventions are as in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0132423#pone.0132423.g003" target="_blank">Fig 3</a>.
