auditory attention decoding,» says Mesgarani, who is also a member of the Data Science Institute and the Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute.
They identified the regions of the

decoded the
attention of the listener and amplified the voice he or she wanted to listen to, using only the mixed audio.
