Noise Effects and Management

SANE: an Index of Anthropogenic Noise Levels for Wildlife Research in Terrestrial Ecosystems

This paper introduces SANE, an index to quantify anthropogenic noise in terrestrial ecosystems using AI-based classification, showing it outperforms existing methods in accuracy and robustness.

The effect of task demand on EEG responses to irrelevant sound and speech in simulated surgical environments.

This study examines how task demand and irrelevant sound affect EEG responses and workload in simulated surgical environments.

Pupil-linked arousal does not differ between white, pink and brown noises

This study finds no difference in pupil-linked arousal across white, pink, and brown noises.

Loudness and sound category: Their distinct roles in shaping perceptual and physiological responses to soundscapes

This study investigates how loudness and sound category influence perceptual and physiological responses to soundscapes, finding that both factors affect pleasantness and eventfulness, with SCR dynamics linked to these judgments.

EEG Signatures of Auditory Distraction: Neural Responses to Spectral Novelty in Real-World Soundscapes

This study identifies EEG responses to auditory distractions in real-world soundscapes, showing that spectral novelty elicits a P3a response but not a Reorienting Negativity.

Sound perception in realistic surgery scenarios: Towards EEG-based auditory work strain measures for medical personnel.

This study uses mobile EEG to investigate how surgical personnel perceive sounds during simulated laparoscopic surgery, finding no significant effects on task performance but noting changes over time.

Investigating the attentional focus to workplace-related soundscapes in a complex audio-visual-motor task using EEG

This study uses EEG to examine how attentional focus affects processing of complex workplace soundscapes during a 3D Tetris task, finding robust N1 and P3 responses and differences in auditory processing based on attentional demands.

Psychological Well-being, Age and Gender can Mediate Soundscapes Pleasantness and Eventfulness: A large sample study

This study examines how psychological well-being and demographic factors influence perceived soundscape pleasantness and eventfulness across urban locations.

A ride in the park: Cycling in different outdoor environments modulates the auditory evoked potentials

This study examines how environmental sounds affect auditory evoked potentials during cycling in different outdoor settings, finding increased N1 amplitude in noisy environments.

The ecological cocktail party: Measuring brain activity during an auditory oddball task with background noise

This study measures brain activity during an auditory oddball task with background noise, finding increased N1 and decreased P2 amplitudes with ecological sounds compared to silence and white noise.
