Neural tracking as a diagnostic tool to assess the auditory pathway

M Gillis, J Van Canneyt, T Francart, J Vanthornhout - Hearing Research, 2022 - Elsevier
When a person listens to sound, the brain time-locks to specific aspects of the sound. This is
called neural tracking and it can be investigated by analysing neural responses (eg …
