Contributions of sensory coding and attentional control to individual differences in performance in spatial auditory selective attention tasks

Listeners with normal hearing thresholds differ in their ability to steer attention to whatever sound source is important. This ability depends on top-down executive control, which modulates the sensory representation of sound in cortex. Yet, this sensory representation also depends on the coding fi...
