1. Children’s Brainwaves in Semantic Processing, Auditory Discrimination and Selective Attention : – in Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing and Typically Hearing Populations
Sammanfattning : DOCTORAL DISSERTATIONDoctoral dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the Faculties of Humanities and Theology at Lund University to be publicly defended on the 14th of February at 13.00 in room LUX:B336, Lund University Cognitive Science, Helgonavägen 3, LundFaculty opponent:Professor Dr. LÄS MER
2. Effects of visual load on auditory processing
Sammanfattning : In daily life, people need to be able to focus on a task while ignoring any task-irrelevant background noise. For example, people who work in an open-space office may have to work on a report while ignoring the background talk among co-workers. LÄS MER
3. Tracking selective attention in a musical cocktail
Sammanfattning : The cocktail party effect refers to mankind’s ability to focus attention on a single sound within noisy or complex auditory environments, in order to extract the most behaviourally-relevant information present. To investigate this cognitive phenomenon in a precise manner, we used frequency-tagging to separate neural auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs), which are specific to the driving frequency of each auditory source, from a neural mix elicited by multiple simultaneous stimuli.

4. Language and executive functions in Swedish preschoolers
Sammanfattning : The main goals of this dissertation are to investigate the associations between language and executive functions, including selective auditory attention, in Swedish children aged 4–6, to examine possible links to factors relating to the child and his/her social environment, and to evaluate preschool interventions with regard to potential improvements in language and/or executive functions. Measures were obtained by combining results from behavioral tests, language samples in the form of narratives, parent and teacher ratings and a measure of selective auditory attention as brain activity.

5. Noise improves cognitive performance in children with dysfunctional neurotransmission
Sammanfattning : Research on children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has shown that they are extremely sensitive to distraction from external stimuli that lead to poor cognitive performance. This thesis shows that cognitive performance can be improved if this external stimulus is smooth and continuous (e.g. auditory white noise). LÄS MER
