Table 1

Advantage and disadvantage of different approaches for solving Cocktail Party Problem.

Approach for solving Cocktail Party ProblemAdvantages of the methodDisadvantages of the method

Temporal bindingAs shown in [44], this strategy helpsAs stated in [45], this strategy results 
 ✓ robustness against loss of network elements  inflexible refocusing of system onto events rapidly occurring in sequence
 ✓ richness of representation 
 ✓ processing speed enhancement

Cortronic networkAs mentioned in [36], in this method As shown in [36], this technique is 
 ✓ there is no requirement for having knowledge of background sounds such as static, traffic, and music costly to implement as it requires a separate artificial neural network

Blind source separation As shown in [46], in this technique  As reported in [47], in this method 
 ✓ there is no need for having knowledge of source signals or the process of mixing  convergence speed is slow
 ✓ no need for defining a cut-off frequency for separation 
 ✓ low computational complexity 
 ✓ helps signal enhancement
