In our new paperwhich has just been accepted for publication in Cerebral Cortexwe examine the brain basis of the link between figure-ground and speech-in-noise perception using functional MRI and dynamic causal modelling (DCM). Watch this space! In this paper, we show that familiar-voice information is used differently in different contextsdepending on whether the goal is to recognise someone from their voice or to understand the words that person is saying. Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics. The organisers, therefore, split the planned day into four smaller sessions, to be interspersed and held online throughout 2021. 101: 2020: Familiar Voices Are More Intelligible, Even if They Are Not Recognized as Familiar. Difficulties with speech-in-noise perception related to fundamental grouping processes in auditory cortex. (2017). Holmes, E., & Herrmann, B. Im looking forward to presenting my latest fMRI work on How are familiar voices represented in auditory cortex?, catching up with colleagues, and enjoying the beautiful scenery in Banff! Specifically, we aimed to investigate whether familiarity with an instrument helps people to perceptually separate (or pull apart) melodies played simultaneously by different instruments, if one of the instruments is familiar. We found the benefit of a familiar voice was significantly smaller when the other person was speaking a different language that the listener could not comprehend. (2018). A cut-off value is used to determine whether someone has hearing loss. The project will delve deeper into the benefits of training a voice to become familiar, following on from some research I did in collaboration with Ingrid Johnsrude (Holmes, To & Johnsrude, 2021). In other words, people who are better at figure-ground perception are better at speech-in-noise perception. Holmes, E., Zeidman, P., Friston, K. J., & Griffiths, T. D. (in press). WebEmma Holmes is an English actress. I found these types of scripts useful for my voice familiarity work, in which I manipulated the pitch of sentences spoken by a large number of talkers (e.g., Holmes et al., 2018, Psych Science; Holmes et al., 2020, JEP LMC). She taught me that you can always work harder. If youre around, come along to find out (1) how being familiar with someones voice helps you to better understand what theyre saying, (2) how long it takes to become familiar with a new voice, and (3) how patterns of brain activity elicited by a voice depend on its familiarity. But you just have to focus on what you're doing and focus those nerves on something positive.". Today is my first day as a lecturer in the Department of Speech Hearing and Phonetic Sciences at UCL. We envisage using these new animations to explain our task to patients and future research participants, and to disseminate our research more widely. The lack of cheesiness you might find on other modelling reality shows - "It's so real. var _g1; Not only is she uniquely beautiful, shes also bright, and I think you will have seen how much she developed throughout the series. If youd like to find out more about this work, the paper is available here: Holmes, E., Parr, T., Griffiths, T. D., & Friston, K. J. The simulated lesions either damaged the premorbid system but left the alternative system intact, or partially damaged both systems. Im also looking forward to the satellite meeting tomorrow on Advanced Perspectives in Auditory Neuroscience (APAN). How can hearing loss cause dementia? The Pint of Science festival takes place every year at locations all around the world, but this is the first year that the festivals being held in London Ontario. Enjoy! Sometimes, the sentence they were listening to was spoken by their friend or partner, but other times it was spoken by someone they had never met. Noor simulated how different types of lesions affect word repetition performance (i.e., repeating heard words). There are models who are real runners and real people too! Ive been fortunate enough to see the funding process through from start to finish and gain insight into the entire process. Simultaneous auditory agnosia: Systematic description of a new type of auditory segregation deficit following a right hemisphere lesion. Today, I found out that my application for an EPS Small Grant was successful and will receive funding! Response times for reporting words spoken by the target talker became significantly shorter as the duration of the cue-target interval increased from 0 to 2 seconds. E Holmes, Y Domingo, IS Johnsrude. The idea is to convey the latest scientific research to the public in an interesting and accessible way. The tests might also be useful for predicting speech outcomes early after someone has received a cochlear implant, and we are currently testing this with our collaborators in Iowa. This one has been a long time coming, so its good to see it out! Whereas, incomplete damage to both systems damaged performance less in the short-term, but more in the long-term, because performance didnt recover as much after damage. Im currently at the ARO mid-winter meeting in Baltimore, which is a great meeting as usual! WebThe half-Jamaican, half-Dutch 18-year-old winner Emma Holmes was announced on last night's show. It's one of the realest modelling shows out there". This idea is becoming increasingly important, because researchers have often assumed that differences in FFRs at these frequencies must reflect differences in brainstem processing. Participants were cued to attend to a talker (defined by their location or gender) who spoke in a mixture of three talkers. The Face is now available to watch on Sky On Demand. You might think you're working hard, but you can always do more.". We hope that this model will be useful for modelling selective attention in future work. On deciding the winner, Caroline Barnes said, When we saw the catwalk we were absolutely convinced that Emma was the best. I just thought about how much I had to learn from her and how much she knew that I didn't". However, our results show these tests are also useful for assessing individual differences among people who are the same age. By contrast, large changes in vocal tract length reduced the intelligibility of familiar voices, but completely eliminated the ability to recognise a friends voice as familiar. WebEMMA HOLMES has been crowned the winner of Naomi Campbell 's model talent show, The Face - and, perhaps unsurprisingly, she was on the supermodel's team. Yesterday, I shared some code that I wrote to generate videos, which I have used to standardise speech recordings. This enables us to use Parameteric Empirical Bayes to test for consistent effects across participants, and Bayesian Model Comparison to test hypotheses about condition-specific effects. Sajid, N., Holmes, E., Hope, T. M., Fountas, Z., Price, C. J., & Friston, K. J. Representational similarity analysis (RSA) is often used to quantify the similarity of multivariate activity between experimental conditions. But there is not a one-to-one mapping between words and the acoustic signal. Ill be based at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging (known locally as the FIL) at 12 Queen Square. https://doi.org/10.1177/ 0956797618779083 [Epub ahead of print]. We conceptualise speech segmentation as an active process: Possible word boundaries are hypotheses, and the model infers the most likely combinations of words (which determines the segmentation). Watch this space for details. Im on my way to the University of Manchester to give a talk. People tend to do worse on these tests as they get older. The results showed that complete damage to the premorbid system engaged the alternative system, which led to an initial drop in performance, but this recovered relatively quickly. Ill be presenting my new work on modelling attention during cocktail party listening. Music Learning Across the Lifespan (MLAL) group. We found a significant interaction between voice manipulation condition (i.e., manipulations to voice pitch or vocal tract length) and task (i.e., recognition or intelligibility task), confirming that acoustic properties of a voice contribute differently to the ability to recognise a familiar person from their voice and the ability to understand the words that a familiar person is speaking. } catch(e) {}. On Tuesday, Ill be presenting a study showing that pitch discrimination is better for synthetic timbre than natural musical instrument timbres, despite familiarity (which is available as a preprint on PsyArXiv). In the spring, I had my first meeting with Mike Matsuda, Superintendent of Anaheim Union, The 18-year old beauty was picked out by Max Factor judges Caroline Barnes and Scott Bradley for her unique beauty and similarities to Mr Max Factors original 1920s muse, Marlene Dietrich. She was the eventual winner of the season, defeating Elaine We found common processes for figure-ground and speech-in-noise perception in auditory cortex: When the two tasks were more difficult, we found evidence for common disinhibition (implying an increase in gain) at the earliest stages of the auditory cortical hierarchy, including left primary auditory cortex. Get in touch if youve used these scripts and/or found them useful! Another paper from my PhD has recently been published. A lay summary of my 2016 Hearing Research paper was published yesterday on the Atlas of Science website, which aims to promote the dissemination of recent scientific papers to a broader audience. I went into the London Marathon ballot and didnt get a place but thought maybe I should do the longer distances and thats what Ive come to love, the endurance side. We have another new modelling paper out this week. The aim of the computition is to convey your research in less than three minutes and engage an audience of non-specialistswith only one PowerPoint slide allowed! Im very happy to visit Aston University today to talk about my research. We replicated the familiar-voice benefit to intelligibility that we have found in previous studies (see Johnsrude et al., 2013, Holmes et al., 2018, Domingo et al., 2019, and Domingo et al., 2019). Semantic context reduces sentence-by-sentence listening effort for listeners with hearing impairment. We measured pitch discrimination thresholds for flute tones, violin tones, trumpet tones, and artifical flat-spectrum complex tones. (2021). Naomi Campbell has been her mentor through the show, and the two speak very warmly of each other. Podcasts are great. Ive been wanting to go to this conference for a while and am very grateful for the SfN Trainee Development award that has enabled me to attend this year. Interestingly, recognition of all three of the trained voices was significantly above chance, and was no better for talkers that had been trained for longer. We conducted a wide range of tests, including discrimination of basic acoustic features, more complex scene analysis, and tests involving overlapping sounds. SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE FEATURES, RECIPES AND COMPETITIONS. Her story is incredibly inspirational and I strongly recommend checking out her work. They suggest that familiarity with a target voice improves intelligibility by helping listeners to avoid interference from distractors that are linguistically similar to the target. Sector: This International Womens Day, Im feeling grateful for all the amazing female mentors Ive had, who have given me advice, confidence, and support over the years. WebHeadquarters Office. Half-Dutch and half-Jamaican, this isnt Holmes first foray into the beauty world, having already featured in an Illamasqua advert as well as walking the catwalks of Mark Fast and Unconditional. Overall, this framework generates quantitative (testable) predictions for behaviour and neural responses, using processes not specific to speech recognition. Im on my way to the 41st ARO MidWinter meeting and half the plane is filled with auditory researchers! We first created a generative model under which a synthetic agent could perform the task accurately. Most of all, I most enjoyed the relaxed discussion sessions, in which we debated topics related to auditory attention. These grants are a new initiative by the Brain and Mind Institute to promote collaboration between different labs and give postdocs the opportunity to carry out independent research projects. Emma Holmes is a digital fundraising and engagement associate. Emma even carries around the notebook Campbell gave her to detail all her advice close to hand as she's worried "Naomi's going to call me and ask, 'Have you got it?!'". WebThe remaining models are challenged to put together an outfit in four minutes. In a second paper, published in Psychological Science, we investigated how rapidly speech intelligibility improves when a novel voice is trained to become familiar. These findings demonstrate that sensorineural hearing loss has consequences for central processing, providing a shift in thinking from the traditional view of hearing loss as purely a peripheral phenomenon. Thus, the model segments speech most consistent with its prior expectations (like humans do). There was an excellent turnout and I got lots of great feedback. I also greatly enjoyed one of the spARO events prior to the meeting, in which award-winning comedian Kathy Buckley talked about her experience of hearing loss and told some fascinating stories about people shes met during her career. "Maybe one day I'll try acting or enrol in further education, but I want to make the most of this opportunity while I have it.". The Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO) Mid-Winter meeting was held in Baltimore MD this year. This Royal Society meeting was held at Chicheley Halla lovely location in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Holmes, E., & Griffiths, T. D. (2019). I highly recommend giving some of their episodes a listen, which cover a variety of topics in neuroscience. To recognise sentences, the model must also segment speech. The group has funded collaborative pilot studies and I was very grateful to recieve funding as a Prinicipal Investigator to carry out a project in collaboration with the Don Wright Faculty of Music at the end of last year. Tomorrow, Ill be co-chairing the Speech Perception session, which looks like it should be a really interesting session. The conference agenda and a searchable list of abstracts are available online. The code is quite flexible and has been used to generate sentence videos in 4 different languages for 10 research projects in the lab. Scientific Reports, 11, 7475. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-87005-4. Crucially, this differs from previous approaches in the literature: it explicitly considers uncertainty, and the model can generate questions to resolve uncertainty. In our new paper, we introduce a novel model for synthesising and recognising speech. "I am so proud of my Emma," said Campbell. I work out six times a week, doing four runs and three classes. Speech recognition is a complex problem. Normal hearing thresholds and fundamental auditory grouping processes predict difficulties with speech-in-noise perception. Im honored to be listed among collleagues doing excellent and important research. Becoming the face of Max Factor is an amazing jump start to what can be a very successful career for her. We currently dont know why this is, or what causes this difficulty. Ill be heading up to Newcastle tomorrow for a joint meeting of the Phonetics & Phonology and Auditory groups. We illustrate linguistic communication by simulating a synthetic subject who can play the 20 Questions game. The project is a collaboration between researchers at the Brain and Mind Institute and at the Don Wright Faculty of Music. 2,911 In both experiments, we found no benefit to intelligibility when the familiar voice was the masker. We, therefore, think these impairments in auditory segregation are related to damage to non-primary auditory cortex including planum temporale, which has been implicated in auditory segregation in previous imaging studies. I remember standing there underwear thinking, 'I am standing in a room wearing only underwear in a room full of supermodels.' One of our papers on voice familiarity has recently been accepted in Psychological Science. WebShe competed in the International Modeling and Talent Association by singing, dancing, and reciting a monologue from To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). She studied dance at The Morphew School of Dance. We aimed to model selective attention during a simplified cocktail party paradigm, in which a listener hears two voices speaking pairs of words and is cued to listen to the voice on their left or right side. Today, Ill present some of the work we did together, and explain how its shaped my current thinking and research interests. I usually listen to them when Im out on a walk or a run. Specifically, we aimed to examine two findings from empirical studies: first, reaction times for reporting words on the cued side improve when the cue is presented longer in advance; second, spatial cueing is associated with a ramping of EEG activity, resembling the contingent negative variation (CNV), before the speech begins. But my modeling didnt start then I went to university and then took it up full time when I finished my degree at 21. found running really hard at first. Revisiting the contribution of auditory cortex to frequency-following responses. Somebody taught me how to run a marathon and Im sort of doing the same now. Empirically, this would be interpreted as theta-gamma coupling. We found that people who had better working memory for frequency were also better at understanding sentences in a noisy background (babble noise). I presented my research plan for my fellowship to staff and supporters, which led to some really engaging discussions. "It's weird because when someone is that iconic, you have so much respect and admiration for them - and that sometimes gets misinterpreted as fear. We also simulated situations where, if the agent has very imprecise beliefs, it will acknowledge its own uncertainty by answering I dont know. Even better, theres no registration fee this year, which means that its a great time to get involved, no matter what your funding situation or where youre located. Above Photo: Emma Holmes for Max Factor (Sean & Seng). The festival comprises a series of talks and discussions, which are held in local pubs. EEG activity evoked in preparation for multi-talker listening by adults and children. In noisy places, it can be difficult to understand what someones saying. Hopefully, well all be able to meet in person again in Florida in 2023! I have programmed both of these analyses in MATLAB and Python. During the experiment, they were asked to listen to listen to the sentence that began with a particular word, and tell us the words they heard in that sentence. Ive created a demo video containing some example stimuli, which is available here: https://youtu.be/Q19E8cOQWkU. Still, Holmes believes there is significant room for better inclusion of differently-abled models and consumers in fashion. Pitch discrimination is better for synthetic timbre than natural musical instrument timbres, despite familiarity. This one has been a long time coming, so its good to see it out! You can read a summary of the project on our centres website: https://engagement.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/grants/digital-engagement-grants-2020/. Pitch discrimination is better for synthetic timbre than natural musical instrument timbres, despite familiarity, 3rd Virtual Conference on Computational Audiology, 2022 Geraldine Dietz Fox Young Investigator Award, Active inference, selective attention, and the cocktail party problem, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2021.09.038, Symposium on Cognitive Auditory Neuroscience, Musicianship and melodic predictability enhance neural gain in auditory cortex during pitch deviance detection, Department of Speech Hearing and Phonetic Sciences at UCL, Speech-evoked brain activity is more robust to competing speech when it is spoken by someone familiar, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.118107, How long does it take for a voice to become familiar? Intriguingly, her deficits were most pronounced for sounds presented to her left ear. Thus, our findings suggest that future experiments should include intervals up to and beyond 2 seconds to maximise benefits of advance cueing on task performance. We also use the model to synthesise expected neuronal responses. We took over the long runs up to about 10 miles from last September, and then in January we took on the marathon course. Im looking forward to meeting everyone at the MPI and giving my talk tomorrow in a session on models of cognition. Tomorrow, Ill be talking about a new model for generating and recognising speech (Active Listening; PD 7), and on Sunday Ill be presenting some fMRI work showing common neural substrates for figure-ground and speech-in-noise perception (PS 286). Ive recently had the opportunity to be involved in the funding process for the Brain and Mind Institute Postdoctoral Collaborative Research Grants. We recruited pairs of friends and romantic couples. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhaa311. When it comes to adaptive wear, it needs to be fashionable, she says. The paper highlights accumulating evidence that auditory cortex contributes to FFRs at frequencies traditionally thought to predominantly reflect brainstem sources. We tested non-musicians and musicians who were trained to play each of the three instruments. Scientific Reports, 10, 13997. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-70952-9. 137 posts. A friend urged her to give the competition a try, and she hasnt regretted it. She showed a general segregation deficit, displaying atypical performance for words-in-noise, music streaming, and figure-ground perceptiondespite intact peripheral function, working memory, and recognition of familiar melodies. Lecturer, UCL. Overall, these simulations reveal that functional recovery after brain damage depends on the availability of computational and structural resources. Two of our new papers have recently come out, which were led by Ysabel Domingo. WebEmma Holmes was a resident of South Carolina who kept a diary during the American Civil War. (2017). We found no evidence of the familiar-voice benefit at lower levels of cortical processing (primary auditory cortex) or at higher levels, such as inferior frontal gyrus. Development Department. I would be interested to hear from you if youre using the code or have found it useful. Friston, K. J., Diedrichsen, J., Holmes, E., & Zeidman, P. (2019). Going forwards, I hope that we can continue to strengthen our reporting, and use the knowledge learned to improve representation. Thats why I like running with others, Ive paced friends to PBs in half-marathons,and I ran the Lydd 20 with a friend because Im quite good at pacing the longer runs; I dont go off too quickly. And its taught me to respect each of the distances, Ive worked out Im more of an endurance runner. These results suggest that familiar voices did not benefit intelligibility because they were more predictable or because they attracted greater attention than unfamiliar voices; rather, familiarity with a target voice reduces interference from maskers that are linguistically similar to the target. In fact the pair got on so well, Naomi called Emma to congratulate her as the final episode aired: "I just got off the phone with her and we were both screaming - and she said 'I'm so happy for you, tell me what's next, send me all the photos'. But the real Speech spoken by familiar people is more resistant to interference by linguistically similar speech. We treated cocktail party listening as a Bayesian inference problem, based on active inference. Neuron. Emma Holmes; Grace To; Ingrid S. Johnsrude; they were still more intelligible than unfamiliar voicesdemonstrating that familiar voices do not need to be explicitly recognized to benefit intelligibility. Two Different Ways Familiar Voice Information Can Be Used. Its brilliant to give something back. Agent International Journal of Audiology. Participants had to detect a pattern (the figure) in the stimuli, in which the tones stayed the same frequency at adjacent chords. Come and say hello if youre around. Holmes, E., Kinghorn, E., McGarry, L., Busari, E., Griffiths, T. D., & Johnsrude, I. S. (2022). This process might help us to combine foreground elements, like speech, over seconds to help separate them from the background of an auditory scene (e.g., noise or other peoples conversations). Sometimes, the figure had a gap in the middle, and other times it didnt. If familiarity with timbre improves pitch discrimination, we should have found the best performance for natural instrument timbres. Ive never been on a diet I guess Im lucky but apart from when I had my children, Ive always been this weight. Interestingly, the neural benefit of a familiar voice correlated with the behavioural benefit to speech intelligibility, and not the degree of familiarity. Im on my way home from the 2nd Cambridge Representational Similarity Analysis and Advanced Computational Methods Workshop and its been a fantastic two days. The benefit to speech intelligibility of hearing a familiar voice. Overall, the results provide converging evidence that listeners evoke consistent preparatory brain activity for selecting a talker by their location (regardless of their gender or identity), but not by their gender alone. Hearing Research, 350, 160172. Ive recently created a new repository on my GitHub page, which contains some miscallaneous scripts that are relevant to auditory research. Domingo, Y., Holmes, E., & Johnsrude, I. S. (2019). "She's tough, but nurturing," Holmes told us of her mentor. Triplets (from left) Emma Holmes, Abby Holmes and Julia Holmes star for the Winthrop girls' hockey team. Hearing Research, 107998. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heares.2020.107998. Normal hearing thresholds and fundamental auditory grouping processes predict difficulties with speech-in-noise perception.
