Attention prioritizes certain information at the expense of other information in ways that are
similar across vision, audition, and other sensory modalities. It influences how—and even …

In a naturalistic environment, auditory cues are often accompanied by information from other
senses, which can be redundant with or complementary to the auditory information …

In principle, selective attention is the net result of target selection and distractor suppression.
The way in which both mechanisms are implemented neurally has remained contested …

When selectively attending to a speech stream in multi-talker scenarios, low-frequency
cortical activity is known to synchronize selectively to fluctuations in the attended speech …

Visual and somatosensory spatial attention both induce parietal alpha (8–14​ Hz)
oscillations whose topographical distribution depends on the direction of spatial attentional …

Complex auditory scenes pose a challenge to attentive listening, rendering listeners slower
and more uncertain in their perceptual decisions. How can we explain such behaviors from …

Speech comprehension in noisy, multitalker situations poses a challenge. Successful
behavioral adaptation to a listening challenge often requires stronger engagement of …

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

Speech is more difficult to understand when it is presented concurrently with a distractor
speech stream. One source of this difficulty is that competing speech can act as an …

Neurons encode information in the timing of their spikes in addition to their firing rates. Spike
timing is particularly precise in the auditory nerve, where action potentials phase lock to …
