Scientific research from the last two decades has provided a vast amount of evidence that
brain oscillations reflect physiological activity enabling diverse cognitive processes. The …

Magneto-and electroencephalographic (M/EEG) signals recorded from the human scalp
have allowed for substantial advances for neural models of speech comprehension over the …

Attention plays a fundamental role in selectively processing stimuli in our environment
despite distraction. Spatial attention induces increasing and decreasing power of neural …

Which aspects of our sensory environment enter conscious awareness does not only
depend on physical features of the stimulus, but also critically on the so-called current brain …

Abstract Human alpha (~ 10 Hz) oscillatory power is a prominent neural marker of cognitive
effort. When listeners attempt to process and retain acoustically degraded speech, alpha …

Visual and somatosensory spatial attention both induce parietal alpha (8–14​ Hz)
oscillations whose topographical distribution depends on the direction of spatial attentional …

Despite substantial research on attentional modulations of visual alpha activity, doubts
remain as to the existence and functional relevance of auditory cortical alpha-band …

Understanding speech in noise (SiN) is a complex task involving sensory encoding and
cognitive resources including working memory and attention. Previous work has shown that …

Enhanced alpha power compared with a baseline can reflect states of increased cognitive
load, for example, when listening to speech in noise. Can knowledge about “when” to listen …

Background Spatial attention relatively increases the power of neural 10-Hz alpha
oscillations in the hemisphere ipsilateral to attention, and decreases alpha power in the …
