When we understand language, recognize words and combine them into sentences. In this article, explore the hypothesis that listeners use probabilistic information about to build syntactic structure. Recent work has shown lexical probability structure both modulate delta-band (<4 Hz) neural signal. Here, investigated whether encoding of changes as a function distributional properties word. To end, analyzed MEG data 24 native speakers Dutch who listened three fairytales with total duration 49 min. Using temporal response functions cumulative model-comparison approach, evaluated contributions features variance in This revealed surprisal values (a feature), well bottom-up node counts feature) positively contributed model Subsequently, compared responses feature between high- low-surprisal values. delay consequence value word: high-surprisal were associated delayed by 150-190 ms. The was not affected word duration, did have origin. These findings suggest brain uses infer structure, highlight an importance for role time process.

The multivariate temporal response function (mTRF) is an effective tool for investigating the neural encoding of acoustic and complex linguistic features in natural continuous speech. In this study, we investigated how representations speech derived from stimuli are related to early signs cognitive decline older adults, taking into account effects hearing. Participants without (

This paper describes the auditory EEG challenge, organized as one of Signal Processing Grand Challenges at ICASSP 2024. The challenge provides electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings 105 subjects who listened to continuous speech, audiobooks or podcasts, while their brain activity was recorded. consists two tasks that relate signals presented speech stimulus. first task, called match-mismatch, is determine which five segments induced a given segment. second regression, reconstruct Mel spectrogram from EEG. 85 were provided training set so participants could train models on relatively large dataset. remaining 20 used held-out for evaluation step challenge.
