1. Exploring Cognitive Spare Capacity : Executive Processing of Degraded Speech
Sammanfattning : Cognitive resources, specifically working memory capacity are used for listening to speech, especially in noise. Cognitive resources are limited, and if listeners allocate a greater share of these resources to recovering the input signal in noise, fewer resources are available for interpreting and encoding its linguistic content.

2. Cognitive Workload and the Driver : Understanding the Effects of Cognitive Workload on Driving from a Human Information Processing Perspective
Sammanfattning : This doctoral dissertation in psychology focuses on present day transport research issues. Society is affected by the way that our transport system works. In one way or another, the use of the transport system involves different levels of human involvement and control. LÄS MER
3. On Dynamic Spectrum Access in Cognitive Radio Networking
Sammanfattning : The exploding increase of wireless communications combined with the existing inefficient usage of the licensed spectrum gives a strong impetus to the development and standardization of cognitive radio networking and communications. In this dissertation, a framework for Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) is first presented, which is the enabling technology for increasing the spectral efficiency of wireless communications. LÄS MER
4. Assessing cognitive spare capacity as a measure of listening effort using the Auditory Inference Span Test
Sammanfattning : Hearing loss has a negative effect on the daily life of 10-15% of the world’s population. One of the most common ways to treat a hearing loss is to fit hearing aids which increases audibility by providing amplification. Hearing aids thus improve speech reception in quiet, but listening in noise is nevertheless often difficult and stressful. LÄS MER
