In a preprint submitted October 15, the abstract describes tracking attention to one speech source using electroencephalography (EEG).
The abstract proposes neural envelope tracking with hidden Markov temporal inference, using EEG and the target speech envelope without explicit attention-state labels.
For ENT research readers, these are task and labeling assumptions to inspect, rather than proof of a hearing-device capability.
