The effect of gaze on EEG measures of multisensory integration in a cocktail party scenario.

Seeing the speaker's face greatly improves our speech comprehension in noisy environments. This is due to the brain's ability to combine the auditory and the visual information around us, a process known as multisensory integration. Selective attention also strongly influences what we comprehend in scenarios with multiple speakers-an effect known as the cocktail-party phenomenon.

The integration of continuous audio and visual speech in a cocktail-party environment depends on attention.

In noisy environments, our ability to understand speech benefits greatly from seeing the speaker's face. This is attributed to the brain's ability to integrate audio and visual information, a process known as multisensory integration. In addition, selective attention plays an enormous role in what we understand, the so-called cocktail-party phenomenon.

The barriers and facilitators to the reporting and recording of self-harm in young people aged 18 and under: a systematic review.

Background And Aims: This systematic review sought to identify, explain and interpret the prominent or recurring themes relating to the barriers and facilitators of reporting and recording of self-harm in young people across different settings, such as the healthcare setting, schools and the criminal justice setting.

Methods: A search strategy was developed to ensure all relevant literature around the reporting and recording of self-harm in young people was obtained. Literature searches were conducted in six databases and a grey literature search of policy documents and relevant material was also conducted.

Attention Differentially Affects Acoustic and Phonetic Feature Encoding in a Multispeaker Environment.

Humans have the remarkable ability to selectively focus on a single talker in the midst of other competing talkers. The neural mechanisms that underlie this phenomenon remain incompletely understood. In particular, there has been longstanding debate over whether attention operates at an early or late stage in the speech processing hierarchy.
