[HTML][HTML] Where is the cocktail party? Decoding locations of attended and unattended moving sound sources using EEG

A Bednar, EC Lalor - NeuroImage, 2020 - Elsevier
Recently, we showed that in a simple acoustic scene with one sound source, auditory cortex
tracks the time-varying location of a continuously moving sound. Specifically, we found that …
