“…We see the present phenomena as lying on a continuum with those involving perceptual splitting of rapid pitch sequences alternating between widely separated pitch regions. (Bregman & Campbell, 1971;Dowling, 1973). However, this is not the only possible way of viewing these phenomena.…”

“…And people are generally very precise in reproducing well-known musical scale intervals within the octave (Attneave & Olson, 1971). On the other hand, Bregman and Campbell (1971) showed that recognition of identity between three-note melodies with very wide pitch skips in them is worse than for melodies with relatively narrow skips. The processing of melodic information seems particularly difficult when wide changes of pitch are involved.…”

We present a sceptical view of multimodal multistability-drawing most of our examples from the relation between audition and vision. We begin by summarizing some of the principal ways in which audio-visual binding takes place. We review the evidence that unambiguous stimulation in one modality may affect the perception of a multistable stimulus in another modality. Crossmodal influences of one multistable stimulus on the multistability of another are different: they have occurred only in speech perception. We then argue that the strongest relation between perceptual organization in vision and perceptual organization in audition is likely to be by way of analogous Gestalt laws. We conclude with some general observations about multimodality.

“…For example, audition researcher Bregman (1990) claims that hearing involves the parsing of auditory scenes into distinct auditory streams-which can be understood as a kind of boundary allocation-and studies show that listeners are unable to pay attention to more than one sound stream at a time, which is also indicative of figure-ground segregation. One such study by Bregman and Campbell (1971) found that perceivers were unable to judge the order of sounds presented in a repetitive cycle where these sounds were experienced as two distinct streams. Participants were presented with three high-pitched sounds (ABC) and three lowpitched sounds (123) in the order A-1-B-2-C-3.…”

Objects are central to perception and our interactions with the world. We perceive the world as parsed into discrete entities that instantiate particular properties, and these items capture our attention and shape how we interact with the environment. Recently there has been some debate about whether the sense of smell allows us to perceive odours as discrete objects, with some suggesting that olfaction is aspatial and doesn't allow for object-individuation. This paper offers two empirically tractable criteria for assessing whether particular objects are exhibited in perceptual experience-(1) susceptibility to figure-ground segregation and (2) perceptual constancies-and argues that these criteria are fulfilled by olfactory perception, and thus there are olfactory objects. I argue that there are, in fact, two different ways that olfaction allows for figure-ground segregation. First, I look at various Gestalt grouping principles, which are thought to govern when features are perceived as grouped into structured wholes, segregated from everything around them. I argue that these principles apply to olfactory experience, providing evidence of non-spatial figure-ground segregation. Second, I defend the contentious idea that a spatial variety of figureground segregation can also occur in olfaction. To see this, however, we need to look to empirical evidence showing that tactile stimulation and bodily movements play a crucial role in olfactory phenomenology. Finally, I draw on empirical evidence and olfactory phenomenology to argue that there are perceptual constancies in olfactory experience, allowing us to perceive odours as coherent objects that survive shifts in our perspectives on the world.
