Humans excel at understanding speech even in adverse conditions such as background noise. Speech processing may be aided by cortical activity the delta and theta frequency bands, which have been found to track envelope. However, rhythm of non-speech sounds is tracked well. It therefore remains unclear aspects neural tracking represent acoustic features, related clarity speech, reflect higher-level linguistic comprehension. Here we disambiguate roles for comprehension through recording EEG...
Humans excel at selectively listening to a target speaker in background noise such as competing voices. While the encoding of speech auditory cortex is modulated by selective attention, it remains debated whether modulation occurs already subcortical structures. Investigating contribution human brainstem attention has, particular, been hindered tiny amplitude response. Its measurement normally requires large number repetitions same short sound stimuli, which may lead loss and neural...
Humans are highly skilled at analysing complex acoustic scenes. The segregation of different streams and the formation corresponding neural representations is mostly attributed to auditory cortex. Decoding selective attention from neuroimaging has therefore focussed on cortical responses sound. However, brainstem response speech modulated by as well, recently shown through measuring brainstem's running speech. Although a smaller magnitude than that cortex, it occurs much higher frequencies...
Abstract Speech and music are spectrotemporally complex acoustic signals that highly relevant for humans. Both contain a temporal fine structure is encoded in the neural responses of subcortical cortical processing centers. The response to speech has recently been shown be modulated by selective attention one two competing voices. Music similarly often consists several simultaneous melodic lines, listener can selectively attend particular at time. However, mechanisms enable such remain...
