Over the last decades, cognitive neuroscience has identified a distributed set of brain
regions that are critical for attention. Strong anatomical overlap with brain regions critical for …

Introduction Understanding speech in noisy environments is challenging even for
individuals with normal hearing, and it poses a significant challenge for those with hearing …

Predictive processing theories, which model the brain as a “prediction machine”, explain a
wide range of cognitive functions, including learning, perception and action. Furthermore, it …

Former studies have established that individuals with a cochlear implant (CI) for treating
single-sided deafness experience improved speech processing after implantation. However …

Background Speech comprehension impairment in post-stroke aphasia is influenced by
speech acoustics. This study investigated the impact of speech rhythm (syllabic isochrony) …

Observing lip movements of a speaker is known to facilitate speech understanding,
especially in challenging listening situations. Converging evidence from neuroscientific …

Regularities in our surroundings lead to predictions about upcoming events. Previous
research has shown that omitted sounds during otherwise regular tone sequences elicit …

Auditory speech comprehension is a multi-faceted process in which attention, prediction,
and sensorimotor integration (via active sensing) interact with or complement each other …

Cortical tracking of stimulus features (such as the envelope) is a crucial tractable neural
mechanism, allowing us to investigate how we process continuous music. We here tested …

Former studies have established that individuals with a cochlear implant (CI) for treating
single-sided deafness (SSD) experience improved speech processing after implantation …
