Silent speech decoding, which performs unvocalized human speech recognition from electroencephalography/electromyography (EEG/EMG), increases accessibility for speech-impaired humans. However, data collection is difficult and performed…
Studies have shown that in noisy acoustic environments, providing binaural signals to the user of an assistive listening device may improve speech intelligibility and spatial awareness. This paper presents a binaural speech enhancement…
Electroencephalography (EEG) plays a vital role in detecting how brain responses to different stimulus. In this paper, we propose a novel Shallow-Deep Attention-based Network (SDANet) to classify the correct auditory stimulus evoking the…
Infants, adults, non-human primates and non-primates all learn patterns implicitly, and they do so across modalities. The biological evidence supports the hypothesis that the mechanism for this learning is general but computationally local.…
Speech Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) offer promising solutions to people with severe paralysis unable to communicate. A number of recent studies have demonstrated convincing reconstruction of intelligible speech from surface…
Many studies have explored brain signals during the performance of a memory task to predict later remembered items. However, prediction methods are still poorly used in real life and are not practical due to the use of…
Self-supervised learning models for speech processing, such as wav2vec2, HuBERT, WavLM, and Whisper, generate embeddings that capture both linguistic and paralinguistic information, making it challenging to analyze tone independently of…

Score-based generative models (SGMs) have recently shown impressive results for difficult generative tasks such as the unconditional and conditional generation of natural images and audio signals. In this work, we extend these models to the…
Articulatory acoustic inversion aims to reconstruct the complete geometry of the vocal tract from the speech signal. In this paper, we present a comparative study of several levels of phonetic segmentation accuracy, together with a…
In this work, we focus on source tracing of synthetic speech generation systems (STSGS). Each source embeds distinctive paralinguistic features--such as pitch, tone, rhythm, and intonation--into their synthesized speech, reflecting the…
Speech super-resolution (SSR) enhances low-resolution speech by increasing the sampling rate. While most SSR methods focus on magnitude reconstruction, recent research highlights the importance of phase reconstruction for improved…
For humans, taste is essential for perceiving food's nutrient content or harmful components. The current sensory evaluation of taste mainly relies on artificial sensory evaluation and electronic tongue, but the former has strong…
