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 …

Music and speech are encountered daily and are unique to human beings. Both are
transformed by the auditory pathway from an initial acoustical encoding to higher level …

Neural decoding models can be used to decode neural representations of visual, acoustic,
or semantic information. Recent studies have demonstrated neural decoders that are able to …

Human speech is a particularly relevant acoustic stimulus for our species, due to its role of
information transmission during communication. Speech is inherently a dynamic signal, and …

Neural activity in the auditory system synchronizes to sound rhythms, and brain–
environment synchronization is thought to be fundamental to successful auditory perception …

Expectations shape our experience of music. However, the internal model upon which
listeners form melodic expectations is still debated. Do expectations stem from Gestalt-like …

It has been demonstrated that from cortical recordings, it is possible to detect which speaker
a person is attending in a cocktail party scenario. The stimulus reconstruction approach …

Listening environments contain background sounds that mask speech and lead to
communication challenges. Sensitivity to slow acoustic fluctuations in speech can help …

In developmental language disorder (DLD), learning to comprehend and express oneself
with spoken language is impaired, but the reason for this remains unknown. Using …

Neural tracking of spoken speech is considered a potential clinical biomarker for speech-
processing difficulties, but the reliability of neural speech tracking is unclear. Here, younger …
