A new study finds that humans’ ability to focus on a single voice in noisy environments—known as selective attention—appears not to originate in subcortical structures like the brainstem or auditory nerve.
Researchers achieved a breakthrough by keeping a sliver of the mammalian cochlea alive outside the body, directly revealing the biomechanics of hearing and opening new avenues to treat sensorineural hearing loss.
