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.

Modality-specific tracking of attention and sensory statistics in the human electrophysiological spectral exponent

The paper shows that EEG spectral exponents reflect changes in E:I balance and selective attention, and track stimulus spectral exponents in sensory cortices, predicting behavioral performance.

Neural attentional-filter mechanisms of listening success in middle-aged and older individuals

The paper investigates neural attentional-filter mechanisms in middle-aged and older individuals using EEG and a dual-talker task, finding that neural speech tracking, but not alpha lateralization, correlates with listening success.

Quantifying the individual auditory and visual brain response in 7- month-old infants watching a brief cartoon movie

The paper uses multivariate temporal response functions (mTRFs) to analyze continuous EEG responses in infants, showing robust individual and group-level neural tracking of auditory and visual stimuli.

Individual listening success explained by synergistic interaction of two distinct neural filters

The paper shows that individual listening success in a dichotic task is best predicted by the combined effect of neural speech tracking and alpha power lateralization, not their individual contributions.

Late cortical tracking of ignored speech facilitates neural selectivity in acoustically challenging conditions

The paper shows that late cortical tracking of ignored speech enhances neural selectivity in noisy conditions by involving fronto-parietal regions.

Tracking temporal hazard in the human electroencephalogram using a forward encoding model

The paper uses forward encoding models to track temporal hazard in EEG data during a pitch-discrimination task, showing that hazard function variations are reflected in neural signals, particularly in the supplementary motor area.

Single-channel in-Ear-EEG detects the focus of auditory attention to concurrent tone streams and mixed speech

This study shows that single-channel in-Ear-EEG can predict auditory attention focus in concurrent listening tasks.
