Speech communication systems based on Voice-over-IP technology are frequently used by native as well as non-native speakers of a target language, e.g. in international phone calls or telemeetings. Frequently, such calls also occur in a…

Electroencephalography (EEG) has been widely used to study the relationship between naps and working memory, yet the effects of naps on distinct working memory tasks remain unclear. Here, participants performed word-pair and visuospatial…

The visual scoring of arousals during sleep routinely conducted by sleep experts is a challenging task warranting an automatic approach. This paper presents an algorithm for automatic detection of arousals during sleep. Using the…

Study Objective: Sleep is reflected not only in the electroencephalogram but also in heart rhythms and breathing patterns. Therefore, we hypothesize that it is possible to accurately stage sleep based on the electrocardiogram (ECG) and…

Recent advances in sound engineering have led to the development of so-called streamlined music designed to reduce exogenous attention and improve endogenous attention. Although anecdotal reports suggest that streamlined music does indeed…

Explicitly alerting users is not always an optimal intervention, especially when they are not motivated to obey. For example, in video-based learning, learners who are distracted from the video would not follow an alert asking them to pay…

In the present work, electroencephalographic recordings of healthy human participants were performed to study the entrainment of brainwaves using a variety of stimulus. First, periodic entrainment of the brainwaves was studied using two…

Sleep plays a vital role in human health, both mental and physical. Sleep disorders like sleep apnea are increasing in prevalence, with the rapid increase in factors like obesity. Sleep apnea is most commonly treated with Continuous…

Sleep slow waves are known to participate in memory consolidation, yet slow waves occurring under anesthesia present no positive effects on memory. Here, we shed light onto this paradox, based on a combination of extracellular recordings in…

The audio visual benefit in speech perception, where congruent visual input enhances auditory processing, is well documented across age groups, particularly in challenging listening conditions and among individuals with varying hearing…

This project introduces a wearable, non-intrusive device for snoring detection and remediation, designed to be placed under or alongside a pillow. The device uses sensors and machine learning algorithms to detect snoring and employs gentle…

Detecting auditory attention based on brain signals enables many everyday applications, and serves as part of the solution to the cocktail party effect in speech processing. Several studies leverage the correlation between brain signals and…

Spike synchrony, which occurs in various cortical areas in response to specific perception, action and memory tasks, has sparked a long-standing debate on the nature of temporal organization in cortex. One prominent view is that this type…

Auditory Attention Decoding (AAD) can help to determine the identity of the attended speaker during an auditory selective attention task, by analyzing and processing measurements of electroencephalography (EEG) data. Most studies on AAD are…

Voice controlled virtual assistants (VAs) are now available in smartphones, cars, and standalone devices in homes. In most cases, the user needs to first "wake-up" the VA by saying a particular word/phrase every time he or she wants the VA…

Snoring is a common disorder that affects people's social and marital lives. The annoyance caused by snoring can be partially solved with active noise control systems. In this context, the present work aims at introducing an enhanced system…

In human sleep staging models, augmenting the temporal context of the input to the range of tens of minutes has recently demonstrated performance improvement. In contrast, the temporal context of mouse sleep staging models is typically in…

In sensory neurons the presence of noise can facilitate the detection of weak information-carrying signals, which are encoded and transmitted via correlated sequences of spikes. Here we investigate relative temporal order in spike sequences…

Objective: Distorted loudness perception is one of the main complaints of hearing aid users. Being able to measure loudness perception correctly in the clinic is essential for fitting hearing aids. For this, experiments in the clinic should…

Understanding the sleep quality and architecture is essential to human being's health, which is usually represented using multiple sleep stages. A standard sleep stage determination requires Electroencephalography (EEG) signals during the…
