Speech processing in the human brain is grounded in non-specific auditory processing in
the general mammalian brain, but relies on human-specific adaptations for processing …

When a person listens to sound, the brain time-locks to specific aspects of the sound. This is
called neural tracking and it can be investigated by analysing neural responses (eg …

This article provides an overview of verbal lie detection research. This type of research
began in the 1970s with examining the relationship between deception and specific words …

When listening to continuous speech, the human brain can track features of the presented
speech signal. It has been shown that neural tracking of acoustic features is a prerequisite …

Speech comprehension is severely compromised when several people talk at once, due to
limited perceptual and cognitive resources. In such circumstances, top-down attention …

For seventy years, auditory selective attention research has focused on studying the
cognitive mechanisms of prioritizing the processing a 'main'task-relevant stimulus, in the …

The ability to selectively attend to a speech signal amid competing sounds is a significant
challenge, especially for listeners trying to comprehend non-native speech. Attention is …

The multivariate temporal response function (mTRF) is an effective tool for investigating the
neural encoding of acoustic and complex linguistic features in natural continuous speech. In …

In everyday social environments, demands on attentional resources dynamically shift to
balance our attention to targets of interest while alerting us to important objects in our …

Selective attention modulates the neural tracking of speech in auditory cortical regions. It is
unclear whether this attentional modulation is dominated by enhanced target tracking, or …
