The ability to focus our attention to a specific sound source in complex everyday situations is a very fascinating skill, which is widely described as auditory selective attention (ASA). A new approach wants to investigate ASA in a realistic virtual reality (VR) environment. A next step towards a close to real life scenario will be the integration of room acoustic simulations. In order to do this, the current stimuli need to be extended and possible new stimuli have to be validated in a listening experiment.
