Topic: subcortical neural responses

Selective attention allows us to focus on relevant information while filtering out distracting signals. Research on the neural mechanisms of selective attention to speech has primarily explored low-frequency responses to amplitude modulations in the auditory cortex. EEG studies revealed, in addition, attentional modulation of subcortical neural responses at the fundamental frequency of speech (speech-FFR). Recent MEG studies have identified cortical contributions to the speech-FFR (Coffey et al. (2017), Kulasingham et al. (2020), Schüller et al. (2024)), but it remains unclear if these cortica
