Listening effort during speech in noise recognition: a neurophysiologic evaluation of consecutive sound processors.

2018 | Journal of Hearing Science

The technological development in the cochlear implants (CI) has been producing external processors designed to increase performances in patients facing word in noise recognition conditions. In our study we investigated the neurophysiological responses underlying these abilities, firstly aiming at obtaining an electroencephalographic (EEG) measure of the listening effort experienced by patients…

EEG variations as estimators of listening effort during recognition of words in noise in unilateral and bilateral sequential adult cochlear implant users.

2018 | Journal of Hearing Science

The listening effort, defined as” the mental exertion required to attend to, and understand, an auditory message”[McGarrigle et al 2014] is a matter receiving wide interest in the scientific community. In particular the challenge is its evaluation beyond the self-report data obtained through questionnaires or individuals’ verbal reports. Multiple evidences highlight a role for posterior Alpha and frontal Theta EEG rhythms…

Neurophysiological Responses to Different Product Experiences.

2018 | Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience

It is well known that the evaluation of a product from the shelf considers the simultaneous cerebral and emotional evaluation of the different qualities of the product such as its colour, the eventual images shown, and the envelope’s texture (hereafter all included in the term “product experience”). However, the measurement of cerebral and emotional reactions during the interaction with food products has not been investigated in…

Wine tasting: how much is the contribution of the olfaction?

2018 | Springer International Publishing.

Neuromarketing predicts that multiple factors contribute to the choice of a product, among them, the perceived value, pleasantness, and emotion related to the use of it. In this framework, a particular field is constituted by luxury items, such as wine. Wine is particularly suitable to marketing effects, both extrinsic (label) and intrinsic features (volatile composition and color) lead to the constitution of the experienced value, and the analysis of the contribution of olfaction to the process of tasting is fundamental in order to study …
