Abstract
In this research seminar, I would like to focus on 2 recent findings. Firstly, we found that the latency of the neural responses might play an important role in understanding the neural basis of a hearing loss. As the severity of the degree of hearing loss increases, this latency of the neural responses increases as well. This might indicate that persons with a hearing loss show decreased efficiency in neural processing of speech. Secondly, we concluded that higher level language features can be tracked in Dutch short stories. Moreover, we showed that these responses are similar across stories with different context and different speakers. This suggests that the responses to these higher level language features resemble higher level language processes in the brain.
