Background: Speech-in-noise (SIN) perception is one of the most complex tasks faced by
listeners on a daily basis. Although listening in noise presents challenges for all listeners …

Abstract The Frequency-Following Response (FFR) is a neurophonic auditory evoked
potential that reflects the efficient encoding of speech sounds and is disrupted in a range of …

Objectives: Cross-language studies, as reflected by the scalp-recorded frequency-following
response (FFR) to voice pitch, have shown the influence of dominant linguistic environments …

Abstract This article presents Eti_ToBI, a tool that automatically labels intonational events in
Spanish and Catalan utterances according to the Sp_ToBI and Cat_ToBI current …

Speech communication usually occurs in the presence of background noise. This study
examined noise tolerance in the brainstem's processing of voice pitch, as reflected by the …

Objectives: It would be clinically valuable if an electrophysiological validation of hearing aid
effectiveness in conveying speech information could be performed when a device is first …

Broad-scale neuroscientific investigations of diverse human populations are difficult to
implement. This is because the primary neuroimaging methods (magnetic resonance …

While lifelong language experience modulates subcortical encoding of pitch patterns, there
is emerging evidence that short-term training introduced in adulthood also shapes …

Background The human frequency-following response (FFR) is a neurophonic potential
used to examine the brain's encoding of complex sounds (eg, speech) and monitor …

The encoding of temporal regularities is a critical property of the auditory system, as short-
term neural representations of environmental statistics serve to auditory object formation and …
