Sleep suppresses the ability to react to environmental demands. It has been proposed that a
phenomenon of sensory isolation, whereby sensory inputs fail to reach cortical brain regions …

Selective attention is a crucial mechanism in everyday life, allowing us to focus on a portion
of incoming sensory information at the expense of other less relevant stimuli. The …

The problem of consciousness continues to be a subject of great debate in cognitive
science. Synthesizing decades of research, The Conscious Brain advances a new theory of …

Objective: The aim of this study was to test whether inattentional deafness to critical alarms
would be observed in a simulated cockpit. Background: The inability of pilots to detect …

The ASA Press imprint represents a collaboration between the Acoustical Society of America
and Springer dedicated to encouraging the publication of important new books in acoustics …

Inattentional deafness can have deleterious consequences in complex real-life situations
(eg healthcare, aviation) leading to miss critical auditory signals. Such failure of auditory …

Most normal-hearing listeners can understand a conversational partner in an everyday
setting with an ease that is unmatched by any computational algorithm available today. This …

Recent advances in neuroscience and engineering have allowed increasingly accessible,

Abstract The Air Traffic Control (ATC) environment is complex and safety-critical. Whilst
exchanging information with pilots, controllers must also be alert to visual notifications …

With smartphone-based mobile electroencephalography (EEG), we can investigate sound
perception beyond the lab. To understand sound perception in the real world, we need to …
