Earables have emerged as a unique platform for ubiquitous computing by augmenting ear-
worn devices with state-of-the-art sensing. This new platform has spurred a wealth of new …

Listening effort is increasingly recognized as a factor in communication, particularly for and
with nonnative speakers, for the elderly, for individuals with hearing impairment and/or for …

How humans solve the cocktail party problem remains unknown. However, progress has
been made recently thanks to the realization that cortical activity tracks the amplitude …

Electroencephalography (EEG) is an important clinical tool and frequently used to study the
brain-behavior relationship in humans noninvasively. Traditionally, EEG signals are …

Humans excel at selectively listening to a target speaker in background noise such as
competing voices. While the encoding of speech in the auditory cortex is modulated by …

Objective. This study presents a direct comparison of a classical EEG cap setup with a new
around-the-ear electrode array (cEEGrid) to gain a better understanding of the potential of …

The ASA Press imprint represents a collaboration between the Acoustical Society of America
and Springer dedicated to encouraging the publication of important new books in acoustics …

Brain data recorded with electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG)
and related techniques often have poor signal-to-noise ratios due to the presence of multiple …

The ability to understand speech is significantly degraded by aging, particularly in noisy
environments. One way that older adults cope with this hearing difficulty is through the use of …

Humans possess the remarkable ability to selectively attend to a single speaker amidst
competing voices and background noise, known as selective auditory attention. Recent …
