Abstract

A variety of perceptual features can be used for the successful separation of information flows and higher speech intelligibility. The binaural system based on the spatial allocation of speech signals plays the most important role in attaining this goal. This review discusses how the mechanisms of spatial hearing provide selective attention to a target speech source and promote the recognition of a masked target signal.
