Temporal variation in the acoustic dynamic range is a confounding factor in EEG-based tracking of absolute auditory attention to speech
In this paper, presented at
EMBC 2025
, we show how acoustic dynamic range of a speech stimulus influences the speech-EEG correlation when using that correlation as a metric for absolute attention.
