Natural sounds such as wind or rain, are characterized by the statistical occurrence of their
constituents. Despite their complexity, listeners readily detect changes in these contexts. We …

The auditory system transforms auditory stimuli from the external environment into
perceptual auditory objects. Recent studies have focused on the contribution of the auditory …

摘要近些年, 随着电子设备和人工智能技术的飞速发展, 人机语音交互的重要性日益凸显. 然而,
由于干扰声源的存在, 在鸡尾酒会等复杂开放环境下的语音交互技术远没有达到令人满意的程度 …

Acoustic environments are composed of complex overlapping sounds that the auditory
system is required to segregate into discrete perceptual objects. The functions of distinct …

Highlights•Mechanistic modeling explored for feature encoding, source separation and
perception.•Progress arises through an interplay between experimentalists and …

A repeating triplet-sequence ABA− of non-overlapping brief tones, A and B, is a valued
paradigm for studying auditory stream formation and the cocktail party problem. The stimulus …

Segregation of complex sounds such as speech, animal vocalizations, and music
simultaneously emanating from multiple sources, referred to as the cocktail party problem is …

Binding the attributes of a sensory source is necessary to perceive it as a unified entity, one
that can be attended to and extracted from its surrounding scene. In auditory perception, this …

The human auditory system has the ability to segregate complex auditory scenes into a
foreground component and a background, allowing us to listen to specific speech sounds …

Sensory systems appear to learn to transform incoming sensory information into perceptual
representations, or “objects,” that can inform and guide behavior with minimal explicit …
