The human brain has evolved to operate effectively in highly complex acoustic
environments, segregating multiple sound sources into perceptually distinct auditory objects …

Auditory figure–ground segregation, listeners' ability to selectively hear out a sound of
interest from a background of competing sounds, is a fundamental aspect of scene analysis …

To make sense of natural acoustic environments, listeners must parse complex mixtures of
sounds that vary in frequency, space, and time. Emerging work suggests that, in addition to …

Our auditory system is constantly faced with the task of decomposing the complex mixture of
sound arriving at the ears into perceptually independent streams constituting accurate …

In everyday life, we process mixtures of a variety of sounds. This processing involves the
segregation of auditory input and the attentive selection of the stream that is most relevant to …

Humans and other animals can attend to one of multiple sounds and follow it selectively
over time. The neural underpinnings of this perceptual feat remain mysterious. Some studies …

Just as the visual system parses complex scenes into identifiable objects, the auditory
system must organize sound elements scattered in frequency and time into coherent" …

Natural soundscapes often contain multiple sound sources at any given time. Numerous
studies have reported that in human observers, the perception and identification of …

Auditory scene analysis involves the simultaneous grouping and parsing of acoustic data
into separate mental representations (ie, objects). Over two experiments, we examined the …

Processing of complex acoustic scenes depends critically on the temporal integration of
sensory information as sounds evolve naturally over time. It has been previously speculated …
