PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·1d agoAuditory-cognitive training is associated with selective reorganization of alpha-band connectivity during speech-in-noise comprehensionPreliminary evidence that auditory-cognitive training reorganizes alpha-band brain connectivity in older adults with hearing loss is intriguing, but sample size and study design details are unknown; no practice change is warranted until replicated in larger controlled trials.
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·7w agoShort-term audio-tactile training affects cortical auditory speech-envelope tracking for incongruent but not congruent stimuliUnderstanding how combining touch and sound training reshapes the brain's speech-processing could open new avenues for multisensory rehabilitation approaches in people with hearing loss or auditory processing difficulties.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·AI & technology·3mo agoSingle-trial EEG-based classification reveals instrument-specific timbre perception via traditional machine learning classifiersDemonstrating that instrument-specific sound qualities (timbre) can be decoded from single-trial EEG opens a long-term research pathway toward neurofeedback-driven, music-optimised hearing aid signal processing.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·3mo agoRegional Brain Atrophy Mediates Age Effects on Words Recognition in Noise in AdultsThis research deepens understanding of why older adults struggle with speech-in-noise, but it is too preliminary to change clinical practice; audiologists should continue comprehensive assessment of speech-in-noise difficulties in older patients while awaiting translational...＋Save
