Speech intelligibility in virtual restaurants [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016 Speech reception thresholds (SRTs) for a target voice on the same virtual table were measured in various restaurant simulations under conditions of masking by between one and eight interferers at other tables. Results for different levels of reverberation and different simulation techniques were qualitatively similar.

Signal envelope and speech intelligibility differentially impact auditory motion perception
Scientific Reports, 2021 Our acoustic environment contains a plethora of complex sounds that are often in motion. To gauge approaching danger and communicate effectively, listeners need to localize and identify sounds, which includes determining sound motion.

The Cortical Dynamics of Intelligible Speech [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2008 An important and unresolved question is how the human brain processes speech for meaning after initial analyses in early auditory cortical regions. A variety of left-hemispheric areas have been identified that clearly support semantic processing, although a systematic analysis of directed interactions among these areas is lacking.
