Fatigue-related changes in value-based decision-making during listening are associated with increased frontal cortical activation

This study examines how listening fatigue affects value-based decision-making and frontal cortical activation in hearing aid users.

Pupil responses indicate selection of task-relevant background sounds during a dual continuous listening task

This study shows that pupil responses reflect attentional selectivity during a dual-task listening scenario, with stronger responses to relevant sounds and challenges in inhibiting irrelevant ones.

Salience-dependent disruption of sustained auditory attention can be inferred from evoked pupil responses and neural tracking of task-irrelevant sounds

The paper shows that pupil responses and neural tracking of task-irrelevant sounds can indicate distraction during sustained listening, with higher salience sounds causing greater distraction and poorer speech comprehension.
