Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, studied what happens in the brains of people who are trying to follow one of two talkers. In trials where the volunteers tracked the wrong voice, the big attention switch happened before a call sign was uttered, suggesting that the listener had picked the wrong voice early and stuck with it. This research could help to find a way to help people who are not able to pick out one voice in a crowded room, which happens to many people as they become older.
