Competing speech streams are simultaneously represented in the human cortex during attention switching

How the brain rapidly switches attention between competing speech streams in complex listening environments is not fully understood. This study shows that neural tracking of a new speaker emerges before disengagement, with transient dual encoding and reduced alpha power supporting flexible auditory attention.

    Mine can’t. There’s some low level to mid level translation going on most of the time.

    I don’t speak a second language fluently though and I didn’t learn both from the time I was a baby so I wonder if those factors have anything to do with how this works.
