Can brain waves reveal how we predict sound?
NCT ID NCT07740070
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This study explores how the brain generates predictions when listening to natural sounds like speech and music. Researchers will use EEG to record brain activity while participants listen to audio and rate their pleasure and comprehension. The study includes people with normal hearing and those with hearing loss, from different cultural backgrounds, to see how these factors affect brain responses.
