The study examines how eye movements and pupil size reflect listening effort across easy, difficult, and impossible speech comprehension in noisy environments.

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

The paper shows that learned statistical regularities improve attentional selection of target sounds in noise through predictive processing and schema-based listening.

This study examines how neural activity during story listening changes with background noise, finding increased individual variability in auditory regions and shared patterns in effort-related networks, along with event-boundary responses unaffected by noise.

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.

This study evaluates the spatial resolution and perceptual effects of a 9th-order ambisonic system, showing it can render focal sound sources but introduces high-frequency localization cues.

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.

This study investigates whether musical training enhances early auditory neural responses and finds no evidence of such enhancement in a large-scale, multi-site study.

This study investigates how varying levels of background masking affect neural tracking of acoustic and semantic features during speech listening, finding U-shaped amplitude responses for acoustic features and robust semantic tracking even under severe masking.

This study examines age-related differences in neural responses to amplitude and frequency modulations in sound, finding greater synchronization but reduced sustained activity in older adults.

This study uses fMRI to show that cognitive control is critical for processing mildly degraded but perfectly intelligible speech, revealing hidden costs in neural processing.

This study examines how neural activity related to auditory attention changes with age, showing differences in brain regions and timing strategies between younger and older adults during listening tasks.

The paper investigates neural engagement during story listening under acoustic masking and finds that inter-subject correlation remains stable despite reduced speech intelligibility.

This study shows human brainstem response latency adapts to sound-level context over tens of milliseconds, with sensitivity decreasing as integration time widens.

This study shows that older adults have reduced sustained neural activity in auditory cortex when processing sound patterns, compared to younger adults, which may explain age-related hearing difficulties.

The paper shows that sustained neural activity latency reflects rapid perceptual learning of auditory patterns, while magnitude may reflect learning outcomes like better prediction.

The paper shows that familiar voices are more robust to competing speech, with neural activity patterns in nonprimary auditory cortex being less degraded by masking.

This study investigates how aging affects neural synchronization to amplitude-modulated sounds, finding increased cortical excitability in older adults that alters sensitivity to envelope dynamics.

The paper shows that motor planning modulates early auditory cortex activity before movement, with effector-specific information decoded from neural activity.

This study uses a novel stimulus and EEG to assess neural function at multiple stages of the auditory pathway simultaneously in normal-hearing adults, revealing distinct subcortical and cortical responses to frequency modulation.

The paper investigates how sound-level statistics influence neural responses and perceptual sensitivity using EEG and behavioral experiments, finding that neural adaptation and prediction-error processing both play roles.

This study shows pupil dilation increases with semantic ambiguity and acoustic interference during speech comprehension tasks.

The paper investigates alpha oscillations in human non-primary auditory cortex using electrode recordings from epilepsy patients, finding that alpha activity is suppressed during speech processing in a specific region.

This study investigates how aging affects neural processing of temporal regularity in sounds, finding increased cortical gain and reduced sustained activity in older adults.

This study investigates whether neural synchronization and sustained activity are dissociable or interdependent in processing temporal sound patterns using EEG experiments.
