- 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: osf.io/preprints/ps...
- Finally out: www.eneuro.org/content/earl... fMRI during naturalistic story listening in noise, looking at event-segmentation and ISC signatures. Listeners stay engaged and comprehend the gist even in moderate noise. with @ayshamota.bsky.social @ryanaperry.bsky.social @ingridjohnsrude.bsky.social
- 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...

- 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.
- Our lab auditoryaging.com at the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest in Toronto is recruiting a graduate student for Fall 2026. We work on cognition, hearing, hearing loss, and social consequences of hearing loss. Get in-touch (email). For UofT admission details www.sgs.utoronto.ca/programs/psy...
- Exciting dive into the literature out: tinyurl.com/NaEngListen We explore narrative engagement in story listening in older people with vision loss. We discuss the importance of narrative engagement and transitions from reading, and outline new research directions. Led by: @signelma.bsky.social
- 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.
- Interested in automated scoring of speech recall across languages? Check out this new preprint. arxiv.org/abs/2503.01045 Possibly helping the hearing sciences to use more naturalistic speech materials to assess comprehension.
