Speech perception is essential for daily communication. Background noise or concurrent
talkers, on the other hand, can make it challenging for listeners to track the target speech (ie …

Though listeners readily recognize speech from a variety of talkers, accommodating talker
variability comes at a cost: Myriad studies have shown that listeners are slower to recognize …

In social settings, speech waveforms from nearby speakers mix together in our ear canals.
Normally, the brain unmixes the attended speech stream from the chorus of background …

How the brain groups sequential sensory events into chunks is a fundamental question in
cognitive neuroscience. This study investigates whether top–down attention or specific tasks …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess three-dimensional (3D) spatial hearing
abilities in reaching space of children and adolescents fitted with bilateral cochlear implants …

Objectives Previous research using non-invasive (magnetoencephalography, MEG) and
invasive (electrocorticography, ECoG) neural recordings has demonstrated the progressive …

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a virtual reality-based
spatial hearing training protocol in bilateral cochlear implant (CI) users and to provide pilot …

It is well established that gaze direction can influence auditory spatial perception, but the
implications of this interaction for performance in complex listening tasks is unclear. In the …

Segregating concurrent sound streams is a computationally challenging task that requires
integrating bottom-up acoustic cues (eg pitch) and top-down prior knowledge about sound …

Objectives: Children with hearing loss (HL), in spite of early cochlear implantation, often
struggle considerably with language acquisition. Previous research has shown a benefit of …
