      Cortical Tracking of Speech-in-Noise Develops from Childhood to Adulthood 

      Vander Ghinst, Marc; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Niesen, Maxime; Wens, Vincent; Hassid, Sergio; Choufani, Georges; Jousmäki, Veikko; Hari, Riitta; Goldman, Serge; De Tiège, Xavier (The Journal of Neuroscience,, 2019)
      In multitalker backgrounds, the auditory cortex of adult humans tracks the attended speech stream rather than the global auditory scene. Still, it is unknown whether such preferential tracking also occurs in children whose ...

      Frequency-Dependent Intrinsic Electrophysiological Functional Architecture of the Human Verbal Language Network 

      Coolen, Tim; Wens, Vincent; Vander Ghinst, Marc; Mary, Alison; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Naeije, Gilles; Peigneux, Philippe; Sadeghi, Niloufar; Goldman, Serge; De Tiège, Xavier (Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2020)
      Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allowed the spatial characterization of the resting-state verbal language network (vLN). While other resting-state networks (RSNs) were matched with their electrophysiological ...

      Inaccurate cortical tracking of speech in adults with impaired speech perception in noise 

      Vander Ghinst, Marc; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Wens, Vincent; Naeije, Gilles; Ducène, Cecile; Niesen, Maxime; Hassid, Sergio; Choufani, Georges; Goldman, Serge; De Tiège, Xavier (Brain Communications, 2021)
      Impaired speech perception in noise despite normal peripheral auditory function is a common problem in young adults. Despite a growing body of research, the pathophysiology of this impairment remains unknown. This ...

      Left Superior Temporal Gyrus Is Coupled to Attended Speech in a Cocktail-Party Auditory Scene 

      Ghinst, Marc Vander; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Op de Beeck, Marc; Wens, Vincent; Marty, Brice; Hassid, Sergio; Choufani, Georges; Jousmäki, Veikko; Hari, Riitta; Bogaert, Patrick Van; Goldman, Serge; De Tiège, Xavier (The Journal of Neuroscience, 2016)
      Using a continuous listening task, we evaluated the coupling between the listener’s cortical activity and the temporal envelopes of different sounds in a multitalker auditory scene using magnetoencephalography and ...

      Localization accuracy of a common beamformer for the comparison of two conditions 

      Lucena Gómez, Gustavo; Peigneux, Philippe; Wens, Vincent; Bourguignon, Mathieu (NeuroImage, 2021)
      The linearly constrained minimum variance beamformer is frequently used to reconstruct sources underpinning neuromagnetic recordings. When reconstructions must be compared across conditions, it is considered good prac- ...

      Measuring the cortical tracking of speech with optically-pumped magnetometers 

      de Lange, Paul; Boto, Elena; Holmes, Niall; Hill, Ryan M.; Bowtell, Richard; Wens, Vincent; De Tiège, Xavier; Brookes, Matthew J.; Bourguignon, Mathieu (NeuroImage, 2021)
      During continuous speech listening, brain activity tracks speech rhythmicity at frequencies matching with the repetition rate of phrases (0.2–1.5 Hz), words (2–4 Hz) and syllables (4–8 Hz). Here, we evaluated the applica- ...
