The human brain tracks amplitude fluctuations of both speech and music, which reflects
acoustic processing in addition to the encoding of higher-order features and one's cognitive …

In recent years research on natural speech processing has benefited from recognizing that
low-frequency cortical activity tracks the amplitude envelope of natural speech. However, it …

Selectively attending to one speaker in a multi-speaker scenario is thought to synchronize
low-frequency cortical activity to the attended speech signal. In recent studies, reconstruction …

During online speech processing, our brain tracks the acoustic fluctuations in speech at
different timescales. Previous research has focused on generic timescales (for example …

The representation of speech in the brain is often examined by measuring the alignment of
rhythmic brain activity to the speech envelope. To conveniently quantify this alignment …

Humans excel at understanding speech even in adverse conditions such as background
noise. Speech processing may be aided by cortical activity in the delta and theta frequency …

How the human auditory system extracts perceptually relevant acoustic features of speech is
unknown. To address this question, we used intracranial recordings from nonprimary …

Humans are highly adept at processing speech. Recently, it has been shown that slow
temporal information in speech (ie, the envelope of speech) is critical for speech …

The “cocktail party” problem—how a listener perceives speech in noisy environments—is
typically studied using speech (multi-talker babble) or noise maskers. However, realistic …

When we attentively listen to an individual's speech, our brain activity dynamically aligns to
the incoming acoustic input at multiple timescales. Although this systematic alignment …
