Attention Differentially Affects Acoustic and Phonetic Feature Encoding in a Multispeaker Environment

Emily S. Teoh et al.

Summary: Humans have the ability to selectively focus on a single talker in a noisy environment, and this study explores the neural mechanisms behind this phenomenon. By analyzing EEG data, the researchers found that attention affects speech processing at different levels, specifically enhancing the processing of phonetic features but not acoustic processing. These findings provide new insights into the effects of attention on speech processing.

Lateralized Cerebral Processing of Abstract Linguistic Structure in Clear and Degraded Speech

Qingqing Meng et al.

Summary: Through studying 19 normal hearing participants, it was found that the brain's processing of linguistic information is influenced by speech intelligibility as well as physical cues in speech. Responses to abstract linguistic units without accompanying acoustic cues were lateralized to the left hemisphere and changed with speech intelligibility, while responses to words/syllables with acoustic onsets were bilateral and unaffected by intelligibility.

Effects of Age on Cortical Tracking of Word-Level Features of Continuous Competing Speech

Juraj Mesik et al.

Summary: Research shows that older adults exhibit stronger neural tracking of word-level features compared to younger adults, particularly in terms of listening effort over frontal electrode sites. The study also found that subjective speech-in-noise perception difficulties are negatively related to the model goodness-of-fit for attended speech, indicating the behavioral relevance of these measures in understanding speech processing changes due to aging and hearing loss.

Cortical Processing of Arithmetic and Simple Sentences in an Auditory Attention Task

Summary: The study found that the processing of language and arithmetic in the brain is well segregated during the cocktail party paradigm with focused attention, and the correlation with behavioral performance suggests a link to successful comprehension or calculation.

Measuring the cortical tracking of speech with optically-pumped magnetometers

Paul de Lange et al.

Summary: During continuous speech listening, the brain activity tracks the rhythmicity of speech at various frequencies, which can be effectively measured using wearable MEG with optically-pumped magnetometers (OPMs). Although measuring cortical tracking of speech (CTS) at frequencies below 4 Hz presents challenges, OPM-MEG shows promising results with improved spatial resolution and lifespan compliance. The study demonstrates that OPMs can be used for CTS assessment, offering new research opportunities to understand neural networks involved in speech tracking and potential alterations in language developmental disorders.

Inaccurate cortical tracking of speech in adults with impaired speech perception in noise

Marc Vander Ghinst et al.

Summary: Impaired speech perception in noise in young adults without peripheral auditory dysfunction may be related to altered cortical tracking of speech at the syllable rate and increased functional connectivity between auditory cortices and language-related brain areas. This study highlights the central origin of this impairment and the potential role of cognitive processes in supporting speech perception in adverse auditory scenes.
