Many sound sources emit signals in a predictable manner. The idea that predictability can
be exploited to support the segregation of one source's signal emissions from the …

Auditory scene analysis (ASA) refers to the process (es) of parsing the complex acoustic
input into auditory perceptual objects representing either physical sources or temporal …

Sounds are generated by interactions between objects in the world and carry information
about the sound's sources and the objects' sound-generating actions. This dual nature of …

Music is a curious example of a temporally patterned acoustic stimulus, and a compelling
pan-cultural phenomenon. This review strives to bring some insights from decades of music …

Introduction Traveling pressure waves (ie, sounds) are produced by the movements or
actions of objects. So sounds primarily convey information about what is happening in the …

Previous research has shown that musical beat perception is a surprisingly complex
phenomenon involving widespread neural coordination across higher-order sensory, motor …

This study examines whether speech rhythm affects speech recognition under “cocktail-
party” conditions. Against a two-talker masker, but not a speech-spectrum noise masker …

Understanding continuous speech with competing background sounds is challenging,
particularly for older adults. One stimulus property that may aid listeners understanding of to …

This study investigates the influence of temporal regularity on human listeners' ability to
detect a repeating noise pattern embedded in statistically identical non-repeating noise …

This study examined the ability of listeners to utilize syntactic structure to extract a target
stream of speech from among competing sounds. Target talkers were identified by voice or …
