ABSTRACT
<p>                                                                             
Animals in the world must separate sources into separate auditory
streams (the "cocktail party problem"). This represents a hard
computational problem, still largely unsolved by artificial systems.
I will discuss theoretical and experimental approaches to
understanding how the cortex is able to solve this problem.
