Current hearing devices lack information about the sound source a user attends to when there are multiple speakers. Auditory attention decoding (AAD) algorithms, which decode the auditory attention from brain signals, solve this problem and inform the hearing device about the to-be-enhanced speaker. While current AAD algorithms typically require an EEG buffer of 10s, leading to long delays, we present a new fast and accurate AAD algorithm that decodes the spatial focus of auditory attention in 1s using common spatial pattern filtering. read more
