Neural tracking as a diagnostic tool to assess the auditory pathway

M Gillis, J Van Canneyt, T Francart, J Vanthornhout - Hearing Research, 2022 - Elsevier
When a person listens to sound, the brain time-locks to specific aspects of the sound. This is
called neural tracking and it can be investigated by analysing neural responses (eg …

[HTML][HTML] Neural tracking of linguistic and acoustic speech representations decreases with advancing age

M Gillis, J Kries, M Vandermosten, T Francart - NeuroImage, 2023 - Elsevier
Background: Older adults process speech differently, but it is not yet clear how aging affects
different levels of processing natural, continuous speech, both in terms of bottom-up acoustic …

Decoding of the speech envelope from EEG using the VLAAI deep neural network

B Accou, J Vanthornhout, HV hamme, T Francart - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
To investigate the processing of speech in the brain, commonly simple linear models are
used to establish a relationship between brain signals and speech features. However, these …

Speech understanding oppositely affects acoustic and linguistic neural tracking in a speech rate manipulation paradigm

E Verschueren, M Gillis, L Decruy… - Journal of …, 2022 - Soc Neuroscience
When listening to continuous speech, the human brain can track features of the presented
speech signal. It has been shown that neural tracking of acoustic features is a prerequisite …

The effects of data quantity on performance of temporal response function analyses of natural speech processing

J Mesik, M Wojtczak - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2023 - frontiersin.org
In recent years, temporal response function (TRF) analyses of neural activity recordings
evoked by continuous naturalistic stimuli have become increasingly popular for …

Neural encoding of linguistic speech cues is unaffected by cognitive decline, but decreases with increasing hearing impairment

E Bolt, N Giroud - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
The multivariate temporal response function (mTRF) is an effective tool for investigating the
neural encoding of acoustic and complex linguistic features in natural continuous speech. In …

Neural envelope tracking predicts speech intelligibility and hearing aid benefit in children with hearing loss

T Van Hirtum, B Somers, B Dieudonné, E Verschueren… - Hearing Research, 2023 - Elsevier
Early assessment of hearing aid benefit is crucial, as the extent to which hearing aids
provide audible speech information predicts speech and language outcomes. A growing …

Better speech-in-noise comprehension is associated with enhanced neural speech tracking in older adults with hearing impairment

R Schmitt, M Meyer, N Giroud - cortex, 2022 - Elsevier
The alignment between low-frequency activity in the brain and slow acoustic modulations in
the speech signal depicts a core principle in present theories of speech perception—a …

Contributions of listening effort and intelligibility to cortical tracking of speech in adverse listening conditions

H Ershaid, M Lizarazu, D McLaughlin, M Cooke… - Cortex, 2024 - Elsevier
Cortical tracking of speech is vital for speech segmentation and is linked to speech
intelligibility. However, there is no clear consensus as to whether reduced intelligibility leads …
