At what level is the gap transfer illusion illusory?

The gap transfer illusion is an auditory phenomenon in which a temporal gap in a longer glide transfers perceptually to a crossing shorter glide, making the longer glide illusorily continuous. This continuity is often considered a variation of classic illusory auditory continuity attributed to audit...
