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 …

This study investigates how top-down attention modulates neural tracking of the speech
envelope in different listening conditions. In the quiet conditions, a single speech stream …

Listening environments contain background sounds that mask speech and lead to
communication challenges. Sensitivity to slow acoustic fluctuations in speech can help …

Neuronal oscillations are thought to play an important role in working memory (WM) and
speech processing. Listening to speech in real‐life situations is often cognitively demanding …

There is an ongoing 'replication crisis' across the field of psychology in which researchers,
funders, and members of the public are questioning the results of some scientific studies and …

Humans' propensity to acquire literacy relates to several factors, including the ability to
understand speech in noise (SiN). Still, the nature of the relation between reading and SiN …

Signal amplitude envelope allows to obtain information of the signal features for different
applications. It is widely used to pre-process sound and other signals of physiological origin …

Seeing a speaker's face can help substantially with understanding their speech, particularly
in challenging listening conditions. Research into the neurobiological mechanisms behind …

Using differing computer platforms and audio output devices to deliver audio stimuli often
introduces (1) substantial variability across labs and (2) variable time between the intended …
