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 speech tracking benefit of lip movements predicts behavioral deterioration when the speaker's mouth is occluded

The paper shows that individual differences in neural speech tracking benefit from lip movements correlate with worse performance when visual speech is blocked by a mask.

SparrKULee: A Speech-evoked Auditory ResponseRepository of the KU Leuven, containing EEG of 85participants

The paper introduces SparrKULee, a large EEG dataset of speech-evoked auditory responses from 85 participants, suitable for training machine learning models and benchmarking encoding/decoding tasks.

Exploring neural tracking of acoustic and linguistic speech representations in individuals with post-stroke aphasia

This study investigates neural tracking of acoustic and linguistic speech representations in individuals with post-stroke aphasia and finds decreased neural tracking of acoustic speech properties compared to healthy controls.

Classifying native versus foreign speech perception from EEG using linguistic speech features

This study uses EEG and deep learning to classify native versus foreign speech perception based on linguistic features and observes differences in neural tracking patterns.

Eelbrain: A Python toolkit for time-continuous analysis with temporal response functions

The paper introduces Eelbrain, a Python toolkit for time-continuous analysis using temporal response functions, demonstrating its application to EEG data from audiobook listening.

Robust neural tracking of linguistic speech representations using a convolutional neural network.

The paper uses a convolutional neural network to analyze EEG data and shows it better captures linguistic speech features than linear models.

Heard or understood? Neural tracking of language features in a comprehensible story, an incomprehensible story and a word list

This study investigates neural tracking of speech comprehension by comparing comprehensible and incomprehensible stories and a word list, finding that language tracking, not acoustic tracking, reflects speech comprehension.

Neural tracking as a diagnostic tool to assess the auditory pathway

This paper reviews neural tracking as a framework to assess auditory and linguistic processing during speech perception, highlighting three analyses: f0-tracking, envelope tracking, and linguistic feature tracking.

Speech understanding oppositely affectsacoustic and linguistic neural tracking in aspeech rate manipulation paradigm.

The paper investigates how speech understanding affects acoustic and linguistic neural tracking by manipulating speech rate, finding that acoustic tracking increases while linguistic tracking decreases with higher speech rates.

Neural tracking of linguistic speech representations decreases with advancing age

This study examines how aging affects neural tracking of speech processing, finding declines in linguistic processing and changes in latency and hemisphere-specific acoustic tracking.

Hearing loss is associated with delayed neural responses to continuous speech

This study shows that hearing loss is linked to delayed neural responses to continuous speech, with reduced efficiency in processing speech in quiet.

Neural markers of speech comprehension: measuring EEG tracking of linguistic speech representations, controlling the speech acoustics

The paper evaluates linguistic representations as neural markers of speech comprehension using EEG, finding that phoneme surprisal, cohort entropy, word surprisal, and word frequency are tracked beyond acoustic properties.
