Invitation Research Seminar ExpORL, Dept. Neurosciences Neural envelope tracking as a measure of speech understanding in CI users. Eline Verschueren Research Seminar When? Tuesday, 18 September 2018, 14:00-15:00 Where? Seminar room ALO 05.200 ALO Building, Onderwijs en Navorsing, Gasthuisberg (KU Leuven) Herestraat 49 B-3000 Leuven Abstract The speech envelope is known to be essential for speech understanding and can be reconstructed from the EEG signal in response to running speech. Recent studies have shown that neural tracking of the speech envelope can be linked to speech understanding in normal hearing listeners, indicating the potential of this measure as an objective measure of speech understanding. Despite the achieved success in normal hearing listeners, it has barely been investigated in persons wearing cochlear implants (CI). Therefore, in the present study, we recorded the EEG in CI users while presenting running speech and linked neural envelope tracking results to actual speech understanding.
