Human auditory cortex preferentially tracks speech over music without explicit attention

The paper shows that human auditory cortex preferentially tracks speech over music in children and adolescents without explicit attention, with speech-bias strengthening in the superior temporal gyrus with age.

A comparison of EEG encoding models using audiovisual stimuli and their unimodal counterparts

The paper compares EEG encoding models using audiovisual stimuli and their unimodal counterparts, finding that visual information has a stronger influence on EEG than auditory information.

Generalizable EEG encoding models with naturalistic audiovisual stimuli

The paper develops encoding models to predict EEG responses to speech in noise-free and noisy conditions, showing generalizability across stimuli types.

Naturalistic affective behaviors decoded from spectro-spatial features of multi-day human intracranial recordings

This study decodes naturalistic affective behaviors from multi-day intracranial recordings using classifiers, finding high accuracy in distinguishing positive, negative, and affectless behaviors.
