Within the field of hearing science, pupillometry is a widely used method for quantifying
listening effort. Its use in research is growing exponentially, and many labs are (considering) …

The measurement of cognitive resource allocation during listening, or listening effort,
provides valuable insight in the factors influencing auditory processing. In recent years …

Recent studies disagree on whether musicians have an advantage over non-musicians in
understanding speech in noise. However, it has been suggested that musicians may be able …

Perceptual systems have finite memory resources and must store incoming signals in
compressed formats. To explore whether representations of a sound's pitch might derive …

Musicians can have better abilities to understand speech in adverse conditions such as
background noise than non-musicians. However, the neural mechanisms behind such …

Hearing in noise is a core problem in audition, and a challenge for hearing-impaired
listeners, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We explored whether …

Musicians are highly trained to discriminate fine pitch changes but the neural bases of this
ability are poorly understood. It is unclear whether such training-dependent differences in …

The present study tested two assumptions concerning the auditory processing of microtiming
in musical grooves (ie, repeating, movement-inducing rhythmic patterns): 1) Microtiming …

Abstract Speech-in-noise (SiN) perception is a critical aspect of natural listening, deficits in
which are a major contributor to the hearing handicap in cochlear hearing loss. Studies …

Introduction Recent theories describe perception as an inferential process based on internal
predictive models adjusted by means of prediction violations (prediction error). To study and …
