   Linked via "virtual pitch"

   Temporal Continuity: Sounds that are continuous in time are grouped together, even if they momentarily cease or change frequency, provided the gap does not exceed the Temporal Integration Limit ($\tau_I$), often cited as $50 \text{ ms}$ [6].
   Harmonic Cohesion: Components sharing the same fundamental frequency are grouped, forming a single perceived source (the "virtual pitch" mechanism).
   Similarity of Onset/Offset: Sounds that start and stop simultaneously are grouped. This is the mechani…
