When feedback backfires: investigating neurofeedback effects in a closed-loop auditory attention decoding paradigm

This study evaluates the impact of neurofeedback on auditory attention decoding accuracy and user experience in a closed-loop system, finding that auditory feedback can degrade performance and increase cognitive load.

EEG-based Decoding of Auditory Attention to Conversations with Turn-taking Speakers

This paper evaluates auditory attention decoding in conversation-tracking scenarios, finding that accuracy is not affected by attention direction or switches, and correlates with perceived listening effort.

Effects of speaker and listener sex on auditory attention decoding performance

This study examines how speaker and listener sex affect auditory attention decoding performance using EEG and EOG measurements in young adults.

'Are you even listening?' - EEG-based decoding of absolute auditory attention to natural speech

This paper decodes absolute auditory attention using EEG features, finding that neural envelope tracking is more reliable than spectral entropy for distinguishing active listening from distractor conditions.

What are we really decoding? Unveiling biases in EEG-based decoding of the spatial focus of auditory attention

This study investigates biases in EEG-based spatial auditory attention decoding, finding that simple models can overfit to eye-gaze and trial-specific confounds, leading to inflated accuracy.
