fMRI during naturalistic story listening in noise, looking at event-segmentation and ISC signatures. Listeners stay engaged and comprehend the gist even in moderate noise.

New work from the lab: https://t.co/nZzQ0CmDiz
Mobile eye-tracking glasses assess listening effort through pupil size and eye movements as good as a stationary eye tracker. But mobile glasses also show that people reduce their head movements when listening becomes more effortful.

Automated, language-agnostic speech recall scoring is now published in Trends in Hearing: https://t.co/tgUJXF0IRX

This opens new avenues for speech comprehension research, making assessments of narrative speech recall a bit easier.
