I added in the wrong Ryan ... :-( ... this one is the correct one: @ryanapanela.bsky.social; well, more science exposure for everyone.

and while you may have a moment, check out Ryan's recent pre-print on event segmentation during story listening in noise:

Public awareness and behavioral impact of the hearing loss-dementia link among middle- to older-aged Canadians Hearing loss is a major potentially modifiable risk factor for dementia, yet public awareness of this link and its behavioral implications remain poorly understood. We conducted a cross-sectional surv...

Hearing loss is the biggest potentially modifiable risk factor for dementia, but how many people know about this, how does it affect their behaviors, and what socioeconomic and demographic factors influence having heard about the link. Find out in our latest research: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to move back to Canada next month and start my Connected Minds Fellowship with Gunnar Blohm!

I’m going to be based out of Toronto, collecting MEG at the Rotman Research institute with Björn Herrmann & Doug Cheyne.

Very cool stuff! I am very much enjoying the Neon trackers and its wonderful they show overlap with stationary trackers.

Mobile Eye-Tracking Glasses Capture Ocular and Head Markers of Listening Effort To extend the assessment of listening effort beyond a sound booth, we validated mobile eye-tracking glasses (Pupil Labs Neon) by comparing them to a stationary system (Eyelink DUO) in a controlled env...

New work from the lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Mobile eye-tracking glasses assess listening effort through pupil size and eye movements as good as a stationary eye tracker. But mobile glasses also show that people reduce their head movements when listening becomes more effortful.

Automated, language-agnostic speech recall scoring is now published in Trends in Hearing: doi.org/10.1177/2331...

This opens new avenues for speech comprehension research, making assessments of narrative speech recall a bit easier.
