Martin Cooke <m.cooke(at)dcs.sheffield.ac.uk> Guy Brown <guy(at)dcs.shef.ac.uk> Dan Ellis <dpwe(at)ICSI.Berkeley.EDU> They have been experimenting on the use of general-purpose methods of auditory scene analysis to segregate sounds (including voices) from other sounds. Guy is now involved in some work on music as well.
