Comprehending speech in noise is an essential cognitive skill for verbal communication.
However, it remains unclear how our brain adapts to the noisy environment to achieve …

While the increasingly globalized world has brought more and more demands for non-native
language communication, the prevalence of background noise in everyday life poses a …

When we pay attention to someone, do we focus only on the sound they make, the word they
use, or do we form a mental space shared with the speaker we want to pay attention to …

Despite the distortion of speech signals caused by unavoidable noise in daily life, our ability
to comprehend speech in noisy environments is relatively stable. However, the neural …

Exhibiting deactivation and anticorrelation with task-positive networks, the default mode
network (DMN) has been traditionally thought to be suppressed to support externally …

Recent research has extensively reported the phenomenon of inter-brain neural coupling
between speakers and listeners during speech communication. Yet, the specific speech …

Auditory speech comprehension is the result of neural computations that occur in a broad
network that includes the temporal lobe auditory cortex and the left inferior frontal cortex. It …

In noisy environments, listeners tend to hear a speaker's voice yet struggle to understand
what is said. The most effective way to improve intelligibility in such conditions is to watch …

Speech comprehension in noise depends on complex interactions between peripheral
sensory and central cognitive systems. Despite having normal peripheral hearing, older …

Purpose The present study examines the brain basis of listening to spoken words in noise,
which is a ubiquitous characteristic of communication, with the focus on the dorsal auditory …
