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 …

Individuals with hearing loss allocate cognitive resources to comprehend noisy speech in
everyday life scenarios. Such a scenario could be when they are exposed to ongoing …

Everyday environments often contain distracting competing talkers and background noise,
requiring listeners to focus their attention on one acoustic source and reject others. During …

Humans are able to pay selective attention to music or speech in the presence of multiple
sounds. It has been reported that in the speech domain, selective attention enhances the …

Spatially selective modulation of alpha power (8–14 Hz) is a robust finding in
electrophysiological studies of visual attention, and has been recently generalized to …

EEG alpha power varies under many circumstances requiring visual attention. However,
mounting evidence indicates that alpha may not only serve visual processing, but also the …

Listening in everyday life requires attention to be deployed dynamically–when listening is
expected to be difficult and when relevant information is expected to occur–to conserve …

Human cognitive abilities naturally vary along a spectrum, even among those we call
“neurotypical”. Individuals differ in their ability to selectively attend to goal-relevant auditory …

It is largely unknown how attention adapts to the timing of acoustic stimuli. To address this,
we investigated how hemispheric lateralization of alpha (7–13 Hz) and beta (14–24 Hz) …

Imagine you are focusing on the traffic on a busy street to ride your bike safely when
suddenly you hear the siren of an ambulance. This unexpected sound involuntarily captures …
