Brain-Controlled Augmented Hearing for Spatially Moving Conversations in Multi-Talker Environments.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Focusing on a specific conversation amidst multiple interfering talkers is challenging, especially for those with hearing loss. Brain-controlled assistive hearing devices aim to alleviate this problem by enhancing the attended speech based on the listener's neural signals using auditory attention decoding (AAD). Departing from conventional AAD studies that relied on oversimplified scenarios with stationary talkers, a realistic AAD task that involves multiple talkers taking turns as they continuously move in space in background noise is presented. Invasive electroencephalography (iEEG) data are collected from three neurosurgical patients as they focused on one of the two moving conversations. An enhanced brain-controlled assistive hearing system that combines AAD and a binaural speaker-independent speech separation model is presented. The separation model unmixes talkers while preserving their spatial location and provides talker trajectories to the neural decoder to improve AAD accuracy. Subjective and objective evaluations show that the proposed system enhances speech intelligibility and facilitates conversation tracking while maintaining spatial cues and voice quality in challenging acoustic environments. This research demonstrates the potential of this approach in real-world scenarios and marks a significant step toward developing assistive hearing technologies that adapt to the intricate dynamics of everyday auditory experiences.
