Recent promising results in auditory attention decoding (AAD) using scalp electroencephalography (EEG) have motivated the exploration of cEEGrid, a flexible and portable ear-EEG system. While prior cEEGrid-based studies have confirmed the…
A speaker extraction algorithm seeks to extract the target speaker's speech from a multi-talker speech mixture. The prior studies focus mostly on speaker extraction from a highly overlapped multi-talker speech mixture. However, the…
Most universal sound extraction algorithms focus on isolating a target sound event from single-channel audio mixtures. However, the real world is three-dimensional, and binaural audio, which mimics human hearing, can capture richer spatial…
Speaker embedding extractors significantly influence the performance of clustering-based speaker diarisation systems. Conventionally, only one embedding is extracted from each speech segment. However, because of the sliding window approach,…
Event-related potentials (ERP) have been used to address a wide range of research questions in neuroscience and cognitive psychology including selective auditory attention. The recent progress in auditory attention decoding (AAD) methods is…
Speaker extraction algorithm relies on the speech sample from the target speaker as the reference point to focus its attention. Such a reference speech is typically pre-recorded. On the other hand, the temporal synchronization between…
Previous initial research has already been carried out to propose speech-based BCI using brain signals (e.g. non-invasive EEG and invasive sEEG / ECoG), but there is a lack of combined methods that investigate non-invasive brain,…
Underlying mechanisms of speech perception masked by background speakers, a common daily listening condition, are often investigated using various and lengthy psychophysical tests. The presence of a social agent, such as an interactive…
In this paper we introduce attention-regression model to demonstrate predicting acoustic features from electroencephalography (EEG) features recorded in parallel with spoken sentences. First we demonstrate predicting acoustic features…
We introduce a monaural neural speaker embeddings extractor that computes an embedding for each speaker present in a speech mixture. To allow for supervised training, a teacher-student approach is employed: the teacher computes the target…

The electroencephalography (EEG) signals recorded in parallel with speech are used to perform isolated and continuous speech recognition. During speaking process, one also hears his or her own speech and this speech perception is also…
Target speaker extraction aims to separate the voice of a specific speaker from mixed speech. Traditionally, this process has relied on extracting a speaker embedding from a reference speech, in which a speaker recognition model is…
In crowded settings, the human brain can focus on speech from a target speaker, given prior knowledge of how they sound. We introduce a novel intelligent hearable system that achieves this capability, enabling target speech hearing to…
Decoding linguistic information from non-invasive brain signals using EEG has gained increasing research attention due to its vast applicational potential. Recently, a number of works have adopted a generative-based framework to decode…
EEG technology finds applications in several domains. Currently, most EEG systems require subjects to wear several electrodes on the scalp to be effective. However, several channels might include noisy information, redundant signals, induce…
In crowded places such as conferences, background noise, overlapping voices, and lively interactions make it difficult to have clear conversations. This situation often worsens the phenomenon known as "cocktail party deafness." We present…
