Listening effort is a long-standing area of interest in auditory cognitive neuroscience. Prior
research has used multiple techniques to shed light on the neurophysiological mechanisms …

Functional neuroimaging has identified that the temporal, frontal and parietal cortex support
core aspects of speech processing. An objective measure of speech intelligibility based on …

Imaging the auditory cortex can prove challenging using neuroimaging methodologies due
to interfering noise from the scanner in fMRI and the low spatial resolution of EEG. Optical …

Significance: There is a longstanding recommendation within the field of fNIRS to use
oxygenated (HbO2) and deoxygenated (HHb) hemoglobin when analyzing and interpreting …

In this study we used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate neural
responses in normal-hearing adults as a function of speech recognition accuracy …

This is the first study to investigate the effects of test methods (while-listening performance
and post-listening performance) and gender on measured listening ability and brain …

Cochlear implant (CI) users with prelingual deafness (hearing impairment started before
language development was completed) show variable speech-in-noise (SIN) …

Evidence using well-established imaging techniques, such as functional magnetic
resonance imaging and electrocorticography, suggest that speech-specific cortical …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has been established as an informative
modality for understanding the hemodynamic-metabolic correlates of cortical auditory …

Recognizing talkers' identity via speech is an important social skill in interpersonal
interaction. Behavioral evidence has shown that listeners can identify better the voices of …
