Neural tracking as a diagnostic tool to assess the auditory pathway
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 …

A tradeoff between acoustic and linguistic feature encoding in spoken language comprehension
When we comprehend language from speech, the phase of the neural response aligns with
particular features of the speech input, resulting in a phenomenon referred to as neural …

[HTML][HTML] A representation of abstract linguistic categories in the visual system underlies successful lipreading
There is considerable debate over how visual speech is processed in the absence of sound
and whether neural activity supporting lipreading occurs in visual brain areas. Much of the …

[HTML][HTML] Neural tracking of speech envelope does not unequivocally reflect intelligibility
During listening, brain activity tracks the rhythmic structures of speech signals. Here, we
directly dissociated the contribution of neural envelope tracking in the processing of speech …

The human auditory cortex concurrently tracks syllabic and phonemic timescales via acoustic spectral flux
Dynamical theories of speech processing propose that the auditory cortex parses acoustic
information in parallel at the syllabic and phonemic timescales. We developed a paradigm to …

Neural envelope tracking predicts speech intelligibility and hearing aid benefit in children with hearing loss
Early assessment of hearing aid benefit is crucial, as the extent to which hearing aids
provide audible speech information predicts speech and language outcomes. A growing …

Neural tracking measures of speech intelligibility: Manipulating intelligibility while keeping acoustics unchanged
IMD Karunathilake… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Neural speech tracking has advanced our understanding of how our brains rapidly map an
acoustic speech signal onto linguistic representations and ultimately meaning. It remains …

Contributions of listening effort and intelligibility to cortical tracking of speech in adverse listening conditions
Cortical tracking of speech is vital for speech segmentation and is linked to speech
intelligibility. However, there is no clear consensus as to whether reduced intelligibility leads …

Explaining flexible continuous speech comprehension from individual motor rhythms
When speech is too fast, the tracking of the acoustic signal along the auditory pathway
deteriorates, leading to suboptimal speech segmentation and decoding of speech …

Detecting post-stroke aphasia using EEG-based neural envelope tracking of natural speech
[Objective]. After a stroke, one-third of patients suffer from aphasia, a language disorder that
impairs communication ability. The standard behavioral tests used to diagnose aphasia are …
