There are multiple factors that influence auditory steaming. Some, like frequency separation or rate of presentation, have effects that are well understood while others remain contentious. Human behavioural studies and event-related potential (ERP) studies have shown dissociation between a pre-attentive sound segregation process and an attention-dependent process in forming perceptual objects and streams. This thesis first presents a model that synthetises the processes involved in auditory object creation. It includes sensory feature extraction based on research by Bregman (1990), sensory feature binding through an oscillatory neural network based on work by Wang (1995; 1996; 1999; 2005; 2008), work by Itti and Koch (2001a) for the saliency map, and finally, work by Wrigley and Brown (2004) for the architecture of single feature processing streams, the inhibition of return of the activation and the attentional leaky integrate and fire neuron. The model was tested using stimuli and an experimental paradigm used by Carlyon, Cusack, Foxton and Robertson (2001). Several modifications were then implemented to the initial model to bring it closer to psychological and cognitive validity. The second part of the thesis furthers the knowledge available concerning the influence of the time spent attending to a task on streaming. Two deviant detection experiments using triplet stimuli are presented. The first experiment is a follow-up of Thompson, Carlyon and Cusack (2011) and replicated their behavioural findings, showing that the time spent attending to a task enhances streaming, and that deviant detection is easier when one stream is perceived. The ERP results showed double decisions markers indicating that subjects may have made their deviant detection based on the absence of the time delayed deviant and confirmed their decision with its later presence. The second experiment investigated the effect of the time spent attending to the task in presence of a continuity illusion on streaming. It was found that the presence of this illusion prevented streaming in such a way that the pattern of the triplet was strengthened through time instead of separated into two streams, and that the deviant detection was easier the longer the subjects attended to the sound sequence.
