The paper shows that intelligible speech masks auditory attention more than scrambled speech, even when acoustic features are matched, suggesting early sensory filtering plays a role.

This study shows that training naive listeners improves spatial audio localization in VR, with generic HRTFs and training being sufficient for most applications.

The paper investigates how the auditory system adapts to spatial sound contexts, showing that sound localization shifts based on recent auditory experiences.

The paper investigates how auditory cortex neurons decode target sounds in fluctuating noise, finding that temporal coding becomes more important at lower signal-to-noise ratios.

The paper links individual differences in informational masking to hemodynamic responses in the superior temporal gyrus using functional near infrared spectroscopy.

The paper compares susceptibility to auditory informational masking and visual crowding in the same participants, finding a negative correlation between the two.

The paper investigates human sound localization and finds that decreasing sound intensity causes localization to collapse toward the midline, supporting a hemispheric-difference model over a labelled-line model.

The paper investigates spatial release from masking using fNIRS, finding that auditory attention activates lateral frontal cortex, with stronger activation in spatially separated configurations.
