      Cortical tracking of lexical speech units in a multi-talker background is immature in school-aged children 

      Niesen, Maxime; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Bertels, Julie; Vander Ghinst, Marc; Wens, Vincent; Goldman, Serge; De Tiège, Xavier (ELSEVIER, 2023)
      Children have more difficulty perceiving speech in noise than adults. Whether this difficulty relates to an immature processing of prosodic or linguistic elements of the attended speech is still unclear. To address the ...

      Cortical tracking of speech in noise accounts for reading strategies in children 

      Destoky, Florian; Bertels, Julie; Niesen, Maxime; Wens, Vincent; Vander Ghinst, Marc; Leybaert, Jacqueline; Lallier, Marie; Ince, Robin A. A.; Gross, Joachim; De Tiège, Xavier; Bourguignon, Mathieu (PLOS BIOLOGY, 2020)
      Humans’ propensity to acquire literacy relates to several factors, including the ability to understand speech in noise (SiN). Still, the nature of the relation between reading and SiN perception abilities remains poorly ...

      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 ...

      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 ...

      Neurodevelopmental oscillatory basis of speech processing in noise 

      Bertels, Julie; Niesen, Maxime; Destoky, Florian; Coolen, Tim; Vander Ghinst, Marc; Wens, Vincent; Rovai, Antonin; Trotta, Nicola; Baart, Martijn; Molinaro, Nicola; De Tiège, Xavier; Bourguignon, Mathieu (ELSEVIER, 2023)
      Humans’ extraordinary ability to understand speech in noise relies on multiple processes that develop with age. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG), we characterize the underlying neuromaturational basis by quantifying how ...

      The role of reading experience in atypical cortical tracking of speech and speech-in-noise in dyslexia 

      Destoky, Florian; Bertels, Julie; Niesen, Maxime; Wens, Vincent; Vander Ghinst, Marc; Rovai, Antonin; Trotta, Nicola; Lallier, Marie; De Tiège, Xavier; Bourguignon, Mathieu (ELSEVIER, 2022)
      Dyslexia is a frequent developmental disorder in which reading acquisition is delayed and that is usually associ- ated with difficulties understanding speech in noise. At the neuronal level, children with dyslexia were ...
