Student Topic : Brain Attending a Cocktail
نویسندگان
چکیده
This classic phenomenon, in which our brain analyzes a scene by perceptually organizing sensory data to form auditory objects (or auditory streams), is often referred to as the “Cocktail Party Effect” (Cherry, 1953). Many cues have been identified that influence perceptual organization, but only little is known about the actual brain mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. In this proposed topic, we look at the latest development in the quest to find the neural basis for auditory stream segregation.

متن کاملCocktail Party Processing via Structured Prediction
While human listeners excel at selectively attending to a conversation in a cocktail party, machine performance is still far inferior by comparison. We show that the cocktail party problem, or the speech separation problem, can be effectively approached via structured prediction. To account for temporal dynamics in speech, we employ conditional random fields (CRFs) to classify speech dominance ...
متن کاملDeep Transform: Cocktail Party Source Separation via Probabilistic Re-Synthesis
In cocktail party listening scenarios, the human brain is able to separate competing speech signals. However, the signal processing implemented by the brain to perform cocktail party listening is not well understood. Here, we trained two separate convolutive autoencoder deep neural networks (DNN) to separate monaural and binaural mixtures of two concurrent speech streams. We then used these DNN...
متن کاملBrain-Behavioral Systems in Patients with Comorbid Anxiety -Depression vs. Healthy Individuals
Background: According to the brain-behavioral systems theory, behavioral inhibition and behavioral activation systems contribute to the development of many psychopathological conditions. Given that anxiety and depression are the most common emotional disorders and the fact that they are highly overlapping, the aim of this study was to compare the brain-behavioral systems in the...
