Neural Tracking of Speech Envelope as an Index of Spatial Release from Masking

The paper investigates neural speech tracking using EEG to quantify spatial release from masking in normal-hearing listeners, finding that spatial separation enhances neural tracking and reflects behavioral improvements.

Neural Phoneme Processing in Children with and without Dyslexia

This study examines neural dynamics of phoneme processing in children with and without dyslexia using EEG, revealing altered encoding strategies and processing inefficiencies in dyslexia.

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

This study shows neural envelope tracking can predict speech intelligibility and hearing aid benefit in children with hearing loss, correlating with behavioral measures and showing improved tracking with hearing aids.

Ahead of Maturation: Enhanced Speech Envelope Training Boosts Rise Time Discrimination in Pre-Readers at Cognitive Risk for Dyslexia

This study shows that envelope enhancement in speech training improves rise time discrimination in pre-readers at risk for dyslexia before formal reading instruction.

Cortical compensation for hearing loss, but not age, in neural tracking of the fundamental frequency of the voice

The paper examines how age and hearing loss affect neural tracking of voice fundamental frequency, finding age-related decline and cortical compensation in hearing impairment.

Enhanced neural tracking of the fundamental frequency of the voice

This paper improves f0 tracking by optimizing features to better match neural responses, resulting in higher correlation between predicted and actual f0 features.

Neural tracking of the fundamental frequency of the voice: the effect of voice characteristics

This study examines how voice characteristics affect neural tracking of fundamental frequency in speech using EEG, finding that lower and steadier f0 produces stronger responses.

From Modulated Noise to Natural Speech: the Effect of Stimulus Parameters on the Frequency Following Response

This study investigates how stimulus parameters affect frequency following responses (FFRs) in normal hearing subjects, finding that artificial vowels produce stronger FFRs and that frequency contours influence response strength.

Improving source modeling of auditory steady-state responses with frequency-specific brain maps

This study improves source modeling of auditory steady-state responses by extending minimum-norm imaging, showing better source detection and subcortical activity reconstruction compared to group-ICA.

The effect of stimulus envelope shape on the auditory steady-state response

This study investigates how the shape of a stimulus envelope affects auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs) and finds that longer decay and off times improve signal-to-noise ratio.

The effect of presentation level on spectrotemporal modulation detection

This study shows that higher presentation levels worsen spectrotemporal modulation discrimination thresholds in normal-hearing adults, suggesting cochlear filter broadening and neural saturation.

Speech intelligibility predicted from neural entrainment of the speech envelope

The paper demonstrates an electrophysiological measure of speech intelligibility by correlating decoded speech envelope from EEG with behavioral speech intelligibility scores.
