Streaming: loss of rhythmic information

When sped up, a triplet pattern is replaced by two isochronous rhythms (left).

Intermediate silences are a result of actual silence 'S' and gaps 'G' created by tones being ``removed from the stream''.

The change also affects the perceived melody.

Segregation is favored both by faster sequences and by larger separations between the frequencies.
