We use the matching pursuit (MP) algorithm to detect induced gamma activity in human EEG during speech perception. We show that the MP algorithm is particularly useful for detecting small power changes at high gamma frequencies (> 70 Hz). We also compare the performance of the MP using a stochastic versus a dyadic dictionary and show that despite the frequency bias the time-frequency power plot (averaged over 100 trials) generated by the dyadic MP is almost identical (> 98.5%) to the one generated by the stochastic MP. However, the dyadic MP is computationally much faster than the stochastic MP.

Objective: To assess the impact of cochlear implantation (CI) and speech perception outcomes on the quality of life (QoL) of adult CI users and their communication partners (CP) one-year post-implantation.
Design: This research is part of a prospective multicenter study in The Netherlands, called SMILE (Societal Merit of Intervention for hearing Loss Evaluation).
Study Sample: Eighty adult CI users completed speech perception testing and the Nijmegen Cochear Implant Questionnaire (NCIQ).

Cochlear implantation (CI) is a highly effective treatment for profound hearing loss in elderly individuals, including those with ARHL. However, factors influencing the success of CI in the elderly population are not fully understood. Hence, we sought to investigate the association of regional cerebellar gray matter volume with effectiveness of CI in the elderly.

Background/objectives: In a tonal language like Chinese, phonologically contrasting tones signify word meanings at the syllable level. Although the development of lexical tone perception ability has been examined in many behavioral studies, its developmental trajectory from childhood to adulthood at the neural level remains unclear. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the issue by measuring the mismatch negativity (MMN) response to a Chinese lexical tonal contrast in three groups.

Purpose: Cognitive dysfunctions are still very common in the chronic phase of stroke when patients are discharged from neurorehabilitation centers. Even individuals who appear to have made a full clinical recovery may exhibit new deficiencies at home. Here, we present evidence of a novel kind of therapy at home aimed at contrasting the heterogenic evolution of stroke patients using a multidomain cognitive approach.

This study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure aspects of the speech discrimination ability of sleeping infants. We examined the morphology of the fNIRS response to three different speech contrasts, namely "Tea/Ba," "Bee/Ba," and "Ga/Ba." Sixteen infants aged between 3 and 13 months old were included in this study and their fNIRS data were recorded during natural sleep.
