Conditions
Brief summary
Human listeners will hear speech masked by single-talker speech before and after auditory training.
Detailed description
Human listeners will hear speech masked by single-talker speech before and after auditory training. Training-related changes in EEG dynamics and behavioral measures of accuracy and effort will be assessed.
