Why Performance Metrics Overpromise in Auditory Attention Decoding: an Information-Theoretic Reappraisal
In this preprint, we show that ignoring temporal dependence can substantially overestimate the performance of auditory attention decoding algorithms. We propose several measures to address these issues, including rIMI, a metric that quantifies the rate of new information gained.

Eccentricity Confound in EEG-based Visual Attention Decoding from Gaze-fixated Neural Tracking of Motion in Natural Videos
In this article, based on a new experiment, we analye how visual eccentricity affects neural responses to naturalistic videos when eye movements are controlled for.
