Modeling and Interpreting Correlations, Null Distributions and Significance Levels in Neural Tracking of Natural Stimuli
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.
