Attention differentially affects acoustic and phonetic feature encoding in a multispeaker environment

ES Teoh, F Ahmed, EC Lalor - Journal of Neuroscience, 2022 - Soc Neuroscience
Humans have the remarkable ability to selectively focus on a single talker in the midst of
other competing talkers. The neural mechanisms that underlie this phenomenon remain …

Late cortical tracking of ignored speech facilitates neural selectivity in acoustically challenging conditions

L Fiedler, M Wöstmann, SK Herbst, J Obleser - NeuroImage, 2019 - Elsevier

humans is borne out by a surprisingly clean representation of attended-only speech in …

[HTML][HTML] The visual speech head start improves perception and reduces superior temporal cortex responses to auditory speech

PJ Karas, JF Magnotti, BA Metzger, LL Zhu, KB Smith… - elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
Visual information about speech content from the talker's mouth is often available before
