Modulating speech tracking through brain state-dependent changes in audio loudness. Journal of Neural Engineering (2026).
This study suggests that neural speech encoding is governed more by internal attentional state than by external stimulus salience, providing proof-of-concept evidence for brain state-dependent stimulation as a principled approach to adaptive speech enhancement.
