[Labs Research]

Some of the work stays in the lab until the surrounding language catches up.

The public products show the outputs. Research keeps working on the thresholds where recognition starts beating explanation.

Auditory change detection can fire without directed attention, making deviations in an ongoing pattern register automatically.

Complex acoustic environments become workable because the brain separates overlapping sound sources into perceptual streams.

Auditory scene analysis uses attention differently from visual serial monitoring, especially when the environment is dense and dynamic.

Sussman, Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (2017)

The auditory system forms object representations from ongoing sound, which is the basis for noticing when one stream turns wrong.
