Understanding Speech in ''Noise'' or Free Energy Minimization in the Soundscapes of the Anthropocene

2024-10-16

Abstract excerpt

<p>Listening to speech in the presence of irrelevant sounds is ubiquitous in the modern world, but is generally acknowledged to be both effortful and unpleasant. Here we argue that this problem arises largely in circumstances that our human auditory system has not evolved to accommodate. The soundscapes of the Anthropocene are frequently characterized by an overabundance of sound sources, the vast majority of whic...
