In environments with multiple sound sources, the auditory system is capable of teasing apart
the impinging jumbled signal into different mental objects, or streams, as in its ability to solve …

Multiple sound sources often contain harmonics that overlap and may be degraded by
environmental noise. The auditory system is capable of teasing apart these sources into …

This chapter summarizes a neural model of how humans use pitch-based information to
separate and attentively track multiple voices or instruments in distinct auditory streams, as …

The auditory system must separate an acoustic mixture in order to create a perceptual
description of each sound source. It has been proposed that this is achieved by a process of …

Most normal-hearing listeners can understand a conversational partner in an everyday
setting with an ease that is unmatched by any computational algorithm available today. This …

The human auditory system is able to separate acoustic mixtures in order to create a
perceptual description of each sound source. It has been proposed that this is achieved by …

Abstract auditory grouping phenomena are investigated/deals with questions concerning the
perceptual fusion and separation of components of a complex sound spectrum, the grouping …

Hearing-in-noise perception is a challenging task that is critical to human function, but how
the brain accomplishes it is not well understood. A candidate mechanism proposes that the …

In everyday life, sounds generated by multiple sources impinge upon our ears
simultaneously or in close succession. An essential task of the auditory system is to …

This thesis addresses the problem of how a listener groups together acoustic components
which have arisen from the same environmental event, a phenomenon known as auditory …
