How and which aspects of neural activity give rise to subjective perceptual experience—ie
conscious perception—is a fundamental question of neuroscience. To date, the vast majority …

Studies of auditory scene analysis have traditionally relied on paradigms using artificial
sounds—and conventional behavioral techniques—to elucidate how we perceptually …

Participants in incidental change detection studies often miss large changes to visually
salient or conceptually relevant objects such as actor substitutions across video cuts, but …

Our world is a sonically busy place and we use both acoustic information and experience-
based knowledge to make sense of the sounds arriving at our ears. The knowledge we gain …

Studies of auditory object perception claim that semantic properties dominate acoustic
properties in determining identification accuracy. Yet the direction of the semantic effect is …

Purpose: Processing real-world sounds requires acoustic and higher-order semantic
information. We tested the theory that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show …

In a change deafness manipulation using radio broadcasts of sporting events, we show that
change deafness to a switch in talker increases when listeners are asked to monitor both …

The ability to detect changes in complex auditory scenes is crucial for human survival, yet
the neural mechanisms underlying this process remain elusive. This study investigates how …

Visual attentional processes have been an important topic in psychological research for
years. Over the last few decades, new methods have been developed, aiming to explore the …

Disappearance of a voice or other sound source may often go unnoticed when the auditory
scene is crowded. We explored the role of selective attention for this change deafness with …
