To date, pure-tone audiometry remains the gold standard for clinical auditory testing. However, pure-tone audiometry is time-consuming and only provides a discrete estimate of hearing acuity. Here, we aim to address these two main drawbacks by develo...
Decoding speech envelopes from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals holds potential as a research tool for objectively assessing auditory processing, which could contribute to future developments in hearing loss diagnosis. However, current methods stru...
Auditory spatial attention detection (ASAD) seeks to determine which speaker in a surround sound field a listener is focusing on based on the one's brain biosignals. Although existing studies have achieved ASAD from a single-trial electroencephalogra...
Working memory is vital for short-term information processing. Binaural beats can enhance working memory by improving attention and memory consolidation through neural synchronization. However, individual differences in cognitive and neuronal functio...

The visual sensory organ (VSO) serves as the primary channel for transmitting external information to the brain; therefore, damage to the VSO can severely limit daily activities. Visual-to-Auditory Sensory Substitution (V2A-SS), an innovative approac...
Wide dynamic range compression (WDRC) and noise reduction both play important roles in hearing aids. WDRC provides level-dependent amplification so that the level of sound produced by the hearing aid falls between the hearing threshold and the highes...
The objective of this study is to assess the potential of a transformer-based deep learning approach applied to event-related brain potentials (ERPs) derived from electroencephalographic (EEG) data. Traditional methods involve averaging the EEG signa...
In this study, we introduce an end-to-end single microphone deep learning system for source separation and auditory attention decoding (AAD) in a competing speech and music setup. Deep source separation is applied directly on the envelope of the obse...
