This study finds that attention enhances spatial release from informational masking using event-related potentials.

Attention significantly improves the ability to discern speech amid distractions, enhancing communication.
The key evidence indicates that focusing attention leads to clearer cortical representations of speech sounds.
This research utilized event-related potentials to analyze the interaction of attention and auditory processing.
The findings suggest that both automatic and controlled processes interplay in overcoming informational masking.

Zobel et al. (2025) studied this question.
