Neural mechanisms that detect changes in the auditory environment appear to rely on
processes that predict sensory state. Here we propose that in tinnitus there is a disparity …

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 …

A growing body of research suggests that intrinsic neuronal slow (< 10 Hz) oscillations in
auditory cortex appear to track incoming speech and other spectro-temporally complex …

Recent studies establish that cortical oscillations track naturalistic speech in a remarkably
faithful way. Here, we test whether such neural activity, particularly low-frequency (< 8 Hz; …

Objectives: Listening effort can be defined as the cognitive resources required to perform a
listening task. The literature on listening effort is as confusing as it is voluminous: measures …

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 …

Listening to speech is often demanding because of signal degradations and the presence of
distracting sounds (ie,“noise”). The question how the brain achieves the task of extracting …

Speech recognition is robust to background noise. One underlying neural mechanism is that
the auditory system segregates speech from the listening background and encodes it …

Attention plays a fundamental role in selectively processing stimuli in our environment
despite distraction. Spatial attention induces increasing and decreasing power of neural …

Human language stands out in the natural world as a biological signal that uses a structured
system to combine the meanings of small linguistic units (eg, words) into larger constituents …
