While at Berkeley, Wever had a student named Stanley Truman who needed a thesis topic, and Glen suggested that he do a figure-ground-type study in audition, wherein subjects were required to make pitch discriminations in the presence of background noise. That study was a pivotal affair for Wever, for in order to have the necessary auditory equipment he contacted Wegel and Lane of Bell Telephone Laboratories in New York, making them aware of the equipment deficiencies in his laboratory.
