Topic 3.7
In a noisy environment, how do we continue to focus on a single conversation according to the cocktail party effect?
We amplify the sound waves of the desired conversation.
We selectively attend to one voice while ignoring others.
Our brain filters out all other noises entirely.
We rely on lip-reading along with auditory information.
