This study shows that both voice and linguistic differences enhance early attentional filtering of distractors in complex auditory environments.

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.

The paper uses RSA on EEG data to show distinct spatiotemporal dynamics in selective attention conditions.

The paper shows that learned statistical regularities improve attentional selection of target sounds in noise through predictive processing and schema-based listening.

This study examines how reverberation and interruptions affect selective attention by measuring syllable recall and pupil dilation in a spatial attention task.

The paper shows that reverberation increases the negative impact of interruptions on auditory spatial selective attention by worsening recall of syllables following interruptions.

This study investigates how interaural time and level differences affect sound source segregation and spatial selection in auditory tasks.

This study investigates how talker identity affects spatial attention and interruption effects in auditory tasks, finding that distinct talkers improve performance and reduce interruption impact, while discontinuities harm attention buildup.

The paper investigates attentional modulation in auditory responses, finding cortical but not brainstem modulation during a selective attention task.

This study uses finite element modeling of dolphin anatomy to show how mandibular fat bodies and air spaces influence sound transmission directionality and block sound through bones at communication frequencies.

This study shows that magnifying interaural level differences (ILD) improves speech intelligibility in bilateral cochlear implant users in symmetrical-masker conditions.

The paper investigates how reduced spectral resolution affects temporal-coherence-based source segregation and speech intelligibility in hearing-impaired listeners using cochlear implants.

This study investigates whether musical training enhances early auditory neural responses and finds no evidence of such enhancement in a large-scale, multi-site study.

This study uses representational similarity analysis on EEG data to examine neural representation of spatial and non-spatial auditory attention and identifies time intervals where attentional state contrasts are reflected in neural responses.

This study shows that induced alpha and beta brain rhythms correlate with single-trial speech intelligibility in noisy environments.

The paper shows that adding across-channel temporal-coherence processing improves predictions of consonant confusions in speech categorization, suggesting its role in speech understanding in noise.

This study investigates how talker discontinuity affects speech processing using EEG and pupillometry, finding reduced recall accuracy and specific neural responses to talker and temporal discontinuities.

The paper investigates how temporal fine structure (TFS) affects consonant identification in multi-talker babble, finding that TFS conveys voicing information beyond what envelopes convey.

The paper shows that spatial alignment between faces and voices enhances selective attention to audio-visual speech in noisy environments.

The paper investigates how neural envelope coding of speech is influenced by background sounds and acoustic features, showing that modulation masking and fine structure shape speech intelligibility across listening conditions.

This study investigates how consonant perception is affected by preceding speech carriers in different acoustic environments and finds that inconsistent carriers disrupt perception more than consistent ones.

The paper identifies sensory-biased regions in the frontal cortex using functional connectivity and task fMRI, revealing distinct visual and auditory working memory networks.

The paper investigates how sensory modality and information domain interact to influence working memory and attention, showing that similar modality/domain combinations lead to greater interference and cognitive effort.

The paper compares attentional modulation of neural responses in neurotypical and ADHD young adults during an auditory task, finding weaker modulation in ADHD participants despite similar behavioral performance.

This study shows that strong non-spatial cues like pitch can reduce the need for sustained spatial attention in auditory tasks.

This study shows that parietal alpha brain stimulation affects auditory spatial attention, with frequency, hemisphere, and task-specific effects.

This study investigates how alpha power changes with auditory spatial attention direction, finding smooth lateralization similar to visual attention.

This study investigates whether hearing-impaired listeners show weaker alpha lateralization in EEG during spatial attention tasks compared to normal-hearing listeners.

The paper investigates how impoverished spatial auditory cues affect brain networks involved in spatial selective attention, finding that natural cues better engage these networks than simplified ones.

The paper examines hemisphere-specific properties of the ventriloquism aftereffect in humans and monkeys using a visual calibration paradigm, finding differences in spatial reference frames between species.
