Stimulus-Informed Generalized Canonical Correlation Analysis for Group Analysis of Neural Responses

1 code implementation31 Jan 2024 Simon Geirnaert, Yuanyuan Yao, Tom Francart, Alexander Bertrand

In this context, generalized canonical correlation analysis (GCCA) is often used as a group analysis technique, which allows the extraction of correlated signal components from the neural activity of multiple subjects attending to the same stimulus.

Detecting Post-Stroke Aphasia Via Brain Responses to Speech in a Deep Learning Framework

no code implementations17 Jan 2024 Pieter De Clercq, Corentin Puffay, Jill Kries, Hugo Van hamme, Maaike Vandermosten, Tom Francart, Jonas Vanthornhout

We modeled electroencephalography (EEG) responses to acoustic, segmentation, and linguistic speech representations of a story using convolutional neural networks trained on a large sample of healthy participants, serving as a model for intact neural tracking of speech.

Minimally Informed Linear Discriminant Analysis: training an LDA model with unlabelled data

no code implementations17 Oct 2023 Nicolas Heintz, Tom Francart, Alexander Bertrand

Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is one of the oldest and most popular linear methods for supervised classification problems.

The role of vowel and consonant onsets in neural tracking of natural speech

no code implementations31 Jul 2023 Mohammad Jalilpour Monesi, Jonas Vanthornhout, Hugo Van hamme, Tom Francart

Our results show that vowel-consonant onsets outperform onsets of any phone in both tasks, which suggests that neural tracking of the vowel vs. consonant exists in the EEG to some degree.

Detecting post-stroke aphasia using EEG-based neural envelope tracking of natural speech

no code implementations14 Mar 2023 Pieter De Clercq, Jill Kries, Ramtin Mehraram, Jonas Vanthornhout, Tom Francart, Maaike Vandermosten

In this study, we aimed to test the potential of the neural envelope tracking technique for detecting language impairments in individuals with aphasia (IWA).

Self-supervised enhancement of stimulus-evoked brain response data

1 code implementation9 Jan 2023 Bernd Accou, Hugo Van hamme, Tom Francart

We propose a novel paradigm for the self-supervised enhancement of stimulus-related brain response data.

Stimulus-Informed Generalized Canonical Correlation Analysis of Stimulus-Following Brain Responses

1 code implementation24 Oct 2022 Simon Geirnaert, Tom Francart, Alexander Bertrand

We show the superiority of the proposed stimulus-informed GCCA method based on the inter-subject correlation between electroencephalography responses of a group of subjects listening to the same speech stimulus, especially for lower amounts of data or smaller groups of subjects.

Relating the fundamental frequency of speech with EEG using a dilated convolutional network

no code implementations5 Jul 2022 Corentin Puffay, Jana Van Canneyt, Jonas Vanthornhout, Hugo Van hamme, Tom Francart

To investigate how speech is processed in the brain, we can model the relation between features of a natural speech signal and the corresponding recorded electroencephalogram (EEG).

Extracting Different Levels of Speech Information from EEG Using an LSTM-Based Model

2 code implementations17 Jun 2021 Mohammad Jalilpour Monesi, Bernd Accou, Tom Francart, Hugo Van hamme

Decoding the speech signal that a person is listening to from the human brain via electroencephalography (EEG) can help us understand how our auditory system works.

Predicting speech intelligibility from EEG in a non-linear classification paradigm

no code implementations14 May 2021 Bernd Accou, Mohammad Jalilpour Monesi, Hugo Van hamme, Tom Francart

The accuracy of the model's match/mismatch predictions can be used as a proxy for speech intelligibility without subject-specific (re)training.

EEG-based Auditory Attention Decoding: Towards Neuro-Steered Hearing Devices

no code implementations11 Aug 2020 Simon Geirnaert, Servaas Vandecappelle, Emina Alickovic, Alain de Cheveigné, Edmund Lalor, Bernd T. Meyer, Sina Miran, Tom Francart, Alexander Bertrand

People suffering from hearing impairment often have difficulties participating in conversations in so-called `cocktail party' scenarios with multiple people talking simultaneously.

EEG-informed attended speaker extraction from recorded speech mixtures with application in neuro-steered hearing prostheses

no code implementations18 Feb 2016 Simon Van Eyndhoven, Tom Francart, Alexander Bertrand

OBJECTIVE: We aim to extract and denoise the attended speaker in a noisy, two-speaker acoustic scenario, relying on microphone array recordings from a binaural hearing aid, which are complemented with electroencephalography (EEG) recordings to infer the speaker of interest.
