Inspiracją do niniejszych badań była chęć odpowiedzi na pytanie .. whether robust speech perception, despite the envelope distortions imposed by real-world  rooms, is mirrored by a cortical entrainment mechanism that is robust  to these distortions?    
In the present study, we examined the effects of selective attention on cortical entrainment to competing speech streams in different reallife
Using acoustic simulations, we created virtual auditory scenes...
We measured ongoing scalp EEG while the subjects selectively attended to a particular talker  embedded in these different scenes. Using stimulus reconstruction to derive envelopes of attended speech streams from single-trial EEG, we investigated (i) whether the clean envelope of an attended speech stream could be reconstructed from a distorted input when speech perception is robust, and (ii) whether this might facilitate the decoding of the attended talker in real-world acoustic scenes. We hypothesized that attention promotes noise-robust neural representations of attended sound streams such that attended speech envelopes reconstructed from cortical EEG resemble the clean signals to a similar or even higher degree than the distorted input. Such a cortical robustness would allow attention decoding accuracies in real-world acoustic scenes that are similar to those observed with undistorted signals.
