Core idea

Dissects early processing and selection of speech when multiple people talk at once.

Why it stuck

Connects the classic Cherry problem to modern signal-processing and brain-level explanations.

My take

Any paper that can make ‘shadowing tasks’ feel relevant to a trombone section soli gets a permanent spot in my folder.
