the general mammalian brain, but relies on human-specific adaptations for processing …

Relating EEG to continuous speech using deep neural networks: a review.

C Puffay, B Accou, L Bollens, MJ Monesi… - Journal of Neural …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Objective. When a person listens to continuous speech, a corresponding response is elicited
in the brain and can be recorded using electroencephalography (EEG). Linear models are …

Neural markers of speech comprehension: measuring EEG tracking of linguistic speech representations, controlling the speech acoustics

M Gillis, J Vanthornhout, JZ Simon… - Journal of …, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
When listening to speech, our brain responses time lock to acoustic events in the stimulus.
Recent studies have also reported that cortical responses track linguistic representations of …

Neural speech tracking in the theta and in the delta frequency band differentially encode clarity and comprehension of speech in noise

O Etard, T Reichenbach - Journal of Neuroscience, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Neural tracking of linguistic and acoustic speech representations decreases with advancing age

M Gillis, J Kries, M Vandermosten, T Francart - NeuroImage, 2023 - Elsevier
Background: Older adults process speech differently, but it is not yet clear how aging affects
different levels of processing natural, continuous speech, both in terms of bottom-up acoustic …

[HTML][HTML] Active listening

KJ Friston, N Sajid, DR Quiroga-Martinez, T Parr… - Hearing research, 2021 - Elsevier

Understanding why infant-directed speech supports learning: A dynamic attention perspective

ML Nencheva, C Lew-Williams - Developmental Review, 2022 - Elsevier
Infant-directed speech (IDS) refers to the suite of prosodic and structural modifications that
adults use when communicating with infants, as opposed to adults. A number of theories …

Evidence for enhanced neural tracking of the speech envelope underlying age-related speech-in-noise difficulties

L Decruy, J Vanthornhout… - Journal of …, 2019 - journals.physiology.org
