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 …

Even though human experience unfolds continuously in time, it is not strictly linear; instead,
it entails cascading processes building hierarchical cognitive structures. For instance, during …

The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is a valuable clinical tool for objective hearing
assessment, which is conventionally detected by averaging neural responses to thousands …

Selective attention to one of several competing speakers is required for comprehending a
target speaker among other voices and for successful communication with them. It moreover …

Most parts of speech are voiced, exhibiting a degree of periodicity with a fundamental
frequency and many higher harmonics. Some neural populations respond to this temporal …

This paper describes the auditory EEG challenge, organized as one of the Signal
Processing Grand Challenges at ICASSP 2023. The challenge provides EEG recordings of …

Spoken language comprehension requires rapid and continuous integration of information,
from lower-level acoustic to higher-level linguistic features. Much of this processing occurs in …

Perception of sounds and speech involves structures in the auditory brainstem that rapidly
process ongoing auditory stimuli. The role of these structures in speech processing can be …

Scalp-recorded frequency-following responses (FFRs) reflect a mixture of phase-locked
activity across the auditory pathway. FFRs have been widely used as a neural barometer of …

Musicians can have better abilities to understand speech in adverse conditions such as
background noise than non-musicians. However, the neural mechanisms behind such …
