AbstractThe ability of humans to listen and converse in noisy places like bustling city streets or busy bars, is remarkable but also mysterious. How are listeners able to extract a clear signal from such loud background noise? The goal of this project is to try to understand how lower brain areas in the auditory pathway interact with higher auditory cortical areas in the brain when we try to communicate in acoustically challenging conditions. The lower parts of the auditory system, which are located in
