Abstract Speech comprehension is severely compromised when several people talk at once, due to limited perceptual and cognitive resources. Under some circumstances listeners can employ top-down attention to prioritize the processing of task-relevant speech. H…

Perception

Interpretation of sensory information

Perception (from Latin perceptio 'gathering, receiving') is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the presented information or environment. All perception involves signals that go through the nervous system, which in turn result from physical or chemical stimulation of the sensory system. Vision involves light striking the retina of the eye; smell is mediated by odor molecules; and hearing involves pressure waves.

Perception is not only the passive receipt of these signals, but it is also shaped by the recipient's learning, memory, expectation, and attention. Sensory input is a process that transforms this low-level information to higher-level information (e.g.

Capacity and tradeoffs in neural encoding of concurrent speech during Selective and Distributed Attention
2022
Abstract Speech comprehension is severely compromised when several people talk at once, due to limited perceptual and cognitive resources. Under some circumstances listeners can employ top-down attention to prioritize the processing of task-relevant speech. However, whether the system can effectively represent more than one speech input remains highly debated. Here we studied how task-relevance affects the neural representation of concurrent speakers under two extreme conditions: when only one speaker was task-rel…
