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 …

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 …

Both visual and auditory spatial selective attention result in lateralized alpha (8–14 Hz)
oscillatory power in parietal cortex: alpha increases in the hemisphere ipsilateral to …

Hearing impairment disrupts processes of selective attention that help listeners attend to one
sound source over competing sounds in the environment. Hearing prostheses (hearing aids …

Speech perception under “cocktail-party” conditions critically depends on the focusing of
attention toward the talker of interest. In dynamic auditory scenes, changes in talker settings …

Prior work in speech processing indicates that listening tasks with multiple speakers (as
opposed to a single speaker) result in slower and less accurate processing. Notably, the trial …

Speech is processed less efficiently from discontinuous, mixed talkers than one consistent
talker, but little is known about the neural mechanisms for processing talker variability. Here …

Phonetic variability across talkers imposes additional processing costs during speech
perception, often measured by performance decrements between single-and mixed-talker …

In order to parse the world around us, we must constantly determine which sensory inputs
arise from the same physical source and should therefore be perceptually integrated …

Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) can adjust the membrane potential by applying a
weak current on the scalp to change the related nerve activity. In recent years, tES has …
