A common complaint among listeners with hearing loss (HL) is that they have difficulty
communicating in common social settings. This article reviews how normal-hearing listeners …

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 …

Objective. Recent studies have provided evidence that temporal envelope driven speech
decoding from high-density electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography …

In realistic auditory environments, people rely on both attentional control and attentional
selection to extract intelligible signals from a cluttered background. We used functional …

Recent studies have shown that prior knowledge about where, when, and who is going to
talk improves speech intelligibility. How related attentional processes affect cognitive …

Bottom-up attention is a sensory-driven selection mechanism that directs perception toward
a subset of the stimulus that is considered salient, or attention-grabbing. Most studies of …

Listeners with normal hearing show considerable individual differences in speech
understanding when competing speakers are present, as in a crowded restaurant. Here, we …

This open access book tackles the design of 3D spatial interactions in an audio-centered
and audio-first perspective, providing the fundamental notions related to the creation and …

Dividing attention over two streams of speech strongly decreases performance compared to
focusing on only one. How divided attention affects cognitive processing load as indexed …

Auditory spatial attention serves important functions in auditory source separation and
selection. Although auditory spatial attention mechanisms have been generally investigated …
