Cognitive auditory control in multisource soundscapes

Abstract

Faced with sensory overload from a cacophony of sounds in our surroundings, the brain engages intricate circuits to make sense of its soundscape in an intelligent way. This process engages a cognitive auditory network that shapes perception based not only on acoustic cues reaching the ear, but also executive control factors. The current proposal investigates the neural underpinnings of this network using scalp recordings in humans; and develops a computational model that examines the sensory-cognitive interaction and applies it in deployable systems of complex sound processing.
