Directing attention to sounds of different frequencies allows listeners to perceive a sound of
interest, like a talker, in a mixture. Whether cortically generated frequency-specific attention …

In the auditory system, cortical event-related potential amplitudes are enhanced during
selective attention within the auditory channel. In the case of brainstem responses, however …

Auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) and their steady-state counterpart (subcortical steady-
state responses, SSSRs) are generally thought to be insensitive to cognitive demands …

Selective auditory attention is essential for human listeners to be able to communicate in
multi-source environments. Selective attention is known to modulate the neural …

Many studies have shown that attention modulates the cortical representation of an auditory
scene, emphasizing an attended source while suppressing competing sources. Yet …

The acoustic envelope of human speech correlates with the syllabic rate (4–8 Hz) and
carries important information for intelligibility, which is typically compromised in multi-talker …

We used the stimulus-driven 40-Hz auditory steady-state response (ASSR) that localizes
tonotopically to the region of primary auditory cortex (A1) to study modulation of this region …

Frequency tagging of sensory inputs (presenting stimuli that fluctuate periodically at rates to
which the cortex can phase lock) has been used to study attentional modulation of neural …

Recent evidence has shown top-down modulation of the brainstem frequency following
response (FFR), generally in the form of signal enhancement from concurrent stimuli or from …

Listeners with normal hearing thresholds (NHTs) differ in their ability to steer attention to
whatever sound source is important. This ability depends on top-down executive control …
