The ability to discriminate and attend one specific sound source in a complex auditory
environment is a fundamental skill for efficient communication. Indeed, it allows us to follow …

Objective: Noise reduction algorithms in current hearing devices lack informationabout the
sound source a user attends to when multiple sources are present. To resolve this issue …

Objectives Previous research using non-invasive (magnetoencephalography, MEG) and
invasive (electrocorticography, ECoG) neural recordings has demonstrated the progressive …

Human brain performs remarkably well in segregating a particular speaker from interfering
ones in a multispeaker scenario. We can quantitatively evaluate the segregation capability …

Perception involves making sense of the world around us by processing a continuous flow of
multimodal sensory information. In doing so, the human brain produces electrical activity that …

It is possible to decode auditory attention to speech from electrophysiological brain
recordings such as electroencephalography (EEG). Such an auditory attention decoding …

Despite extensive research, the precise role of acoustic and semantic cues in complex
speech perception tasks remains unclear. In this study, we propose a paradigm to …

Current hearing aids have difficulties focusing on the correct speaker in complex
environments where multiple people are talking simultaneously. This is because hearing …

One of the remarkable abilities that people with normal hearing possess is to focus the
attention on a certain speaker in presence of multiple speakers. Known as the cocktail party …

A growing number of hearing-impaired people benefit from a hearing aid. Due to the current
labour-intensive behavioural diagnostics of the auditory system, hearing aids are not …
