Lad, M., Holmes, E., Chu, A., and Griffiths, T. D. (2020). The 18-year old beauty Listen up ladies, as weve got some seriously breaking beauty news for you, although look away now if you didnt manage to catch up with last nights final episode of The Face. Its been estimated that 5-15% of people who visit audiology clinics reporting hearing difficulty turn out to have normal hearing, as defined by current clinical standards. This time last month, I was invited to the Future Leaders Day at the Action on Hearing Loss head office in Highbury. Everyone has a stigma that all models dont eat or drink, they literally starve themselves and thats not the case at all. We looked at the amount that two maskers needed to be symmetrically separated (in the azimuth plane) from a target voice for it to be as intelligible as a familiar voice with collocated maskers. All of the posters are available to view already, and most also have a 3-minute video digest, which I think is a great idea (even if I hated recording my own!). Training is going the right way. We manipulated the recorded sentences, to simulate changes in vocal tract length (which determines the formants of speech) and/or voice pitch (which are determined by the frequencies). The symposium highlights the wide variety of factors that influence speech perception and will feature talks by Tessa Bent, Ross Maddox, Alex Billig, Elin Roverud, Stefanie Kuchinsky, Pranesh Bhargava, Malte Wstmann, and myself. Ive doneit for the last two years, its brilliant. Psychological Science. However, our results show these tests are also useful for assessing individual differences among people who are the same age. This year, Ive got the London Marathon and then on 29May Im doing the High Weald 50K. Holmes, E., Kitterick, P.T., Summerfield, A.Q. She told me to breathe and sat with me as I told what was going on. Earlier this year, Holmes was found guilty on four counts of fraud. WebThe half Jamaican half Dutch 18-year-old winner Emma Holmes was announced on last night's show. 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. Overall, these simulations reveal that functional recovery after brain damage depends on the availability of computational and structural resources. 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. Enjoy! This idea is becoming increasingly important, because researchers have often assumed that differences in FFRs at these frequencies must reflect differences in brainstem processing. On Wednesday (21st February), Ill be visiting Royal Holloway and will be giving a talk on our recent work on familiar voices. I recently talked about our work on familiar voices with Wilf from Watercooler.FM. In other words, she showed impaired segregation between objects when competing sounds were present, but preserved within-object analysis when we tested auditory features in isolation. The festival comprises a series of talks and discussions, which are held in local pubs. The results demonstrate that amplitude modulation rate can dramatically affect the conclusions of EFR studiesimplying that different neuronal populations contribute to EFRs at these lower and higher rates. "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.". Scientific Reports, 10, 13997. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-70952-9. Simulating lesion-dependent functional recovery mechanisms. EEG activity evoked in preparation for multi-talker listening by adults and children. Ive created a demo video containing some example stimuli, which is available here: https://youtu.be/Q19E8cOQWkU. The benefit to speech intelligibility of hearing a familiar voice. Ill be discussing theories of speech perception and how they account foror, in many cases, fail to account forour results showing how voice familiarity improves speech intelligibility. I would be interested to hear from you if youre using the code or have found it useful. These results demonstrate an interesting dissociation between the ability to recognise someone from their voice and the ability to understand the words that someone is speaking, suggesting that we use familiar-voice information differently in different contexts. The Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO) Mid-Winter meeting was held in Baltimore MD this year. 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. Scientific Reports, 11, 7475. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-87005-4. Im on my way to San Diego for my first Society for Neuroscience (SfN) meeting! The code is quite flexible and has been used to generate sentence videos in 4 different languages for 10 research projects in the lab. The winner takes home a Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara campaign. Watch this space! In this experiment, we presented an visual cue that instructed participants to attend to a talker who was at a target location (left/right) or who was of a target gender (male/female). Ill be based at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging (known locally as the FIL) at 12 Queen Square. The Canadian Audiologist recently published our article, which summarises some of our key findings on familiar voices. I have programmed both of these analyses in MATLAB and Python. 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. Holmes, E., Kitterick, P. T. & Summerfield, A. Q. Variational representational similarity analysis. I usually listen to them when Im out on a walk or a run. Were really grateful to the 5 volunteers who participated in the focus group, which took place over a series of 4 video calls, and to the professional designers, who helped bring our ideas to life. On Thursday, Im giving a talk at the 3rd Virtual Conference on Computational Audiology. 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. In both experiments, we found no benefit to intelligibility when the familiar voice was the masker. Neuron. Caroline BarnesChristmas ad campaignEmma HolmesScott BradleySean & Seng. 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). 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. We always presented a competing stimulus at the same time: it was either a different talker speaking a sentence in the same language as the target (English), a different talker speaking a sentence in a language that was incomprehensible to the listener (Spanish or Russian), or unintelligible noise (constructed from the sentences presented in the other conditions). Time-dependent changes in precision werent needed to explain faster RTs with longer preparatory intervals, but they were necessary to explain the ramping of EEG activity. Department of Speech Hearing and Phonetic Sciences, UCL, Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, UCL. Holmes, E., To, G., & Johnsrude, I. S. (2021). TV Production For now though, carving a career in fashion is her priority. At the moment my marathon PB is 3:53, Im aiming for 3:45 and if I get sub 3:45 it would be Good For Age. WebCampbell's favoured protg, Canterbury-born student Emma Holmes, was crowned the winner and walked away with the prize of starring in a Max Factor campaign. 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. Semantic context and hearing-aid setting had additive effects on speech intelligibility and listening effort, demonstrating that the benefit of semantic context can extend above and beyond the improvement gained from changing hearing-aid settings. Difficulty grouping sounds was a previously unknown factor affecting the ability to hear speech in noisy places, and we developed new tests to measure it. As usual, the conference was packed with interesting research and it was difficult to see everything in the time available! "I want to work in modelling for as long as possible," she said. Friston, K. J., Sajid, N., Quiroga-Martinez, D. R., Parr, T., Price, C. J., & Holmes, E. (2020). "Keep your head down and work hard - I didn't keep my head down, but I did work hard. Ive been fortunate enough to see the funding process through from start to finish and gain insight into the entire process. By continuing to use our site, you are agreeing to the use of cookies as set in our Cookie Policy. 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. Nevertheless, I always enjoy ARO for finding out about the latest research and having great discussions. We also use the model to synthesise expected neuronal responses. Max Factor make-up artist Caroline Barnes said:When we saw the catwalk we were absolutely convinced that Emma was the best. Friston, K. J., Diedrichsen, J., Holmes, E., & Zeidman, P. (2019). (2021). If youd like to read more about the science behind our figure-ground tests, you can find some of our relevant papers here: Recently, we had the rare opportunity to study a young patient who experienced a stroke, which affected the right hemisphere of her brain. We are also considering training approaches that might help to improve listening in noisy places. You can find the abstract book here: ARO 2018 MidWinter Meeting Abstracts, A great start to the new year2 papers accepted within the past week! One of my ongoing research projects was featured in a recent newsletter of the Music Learning Across the Lifespan (MLAL) group of Western University. Next up for Emma is a major campaign for Max Factor (her dream is to do catwalk and editorial work) - but what's her top tip for aspiring models hoping to impress on the next series of The Face? Watch this space! Peripheral hearing loss reduces the ability of children to direct selective attention during multi-talker listening. "She's not really scary", Emma told us at a special screening of the final episode held by Max Factor last night. I love seeing other people achieve their goals for these girls to run their first marathon is amazing and it is giving something back. Thus, even extensive experience listening toand learning to producesounds of a particular timbre, doesnt appear to improve pitch thresholds. "It was very competitive. Separating the musician group into those trained on different instruments, we found a significant interaction between group and timbre, but not in the expected direction For all 3 musician groups, thresholds were no better for the timbre the musician was trained to produce than other timbres. In our new paper, we tested the hypothesis that some of this variability relates to a general ability to hold sounds in mind, (i.e., auditory working memory) even when the sounds arent speech. Im honored to be listed among collleagues doing excellent and important research. The sessions are free to register for, and theres an Early Career discussion a week today. 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. So we went on the Leader in Running Fitness course with Run England, and weve also done a first aid in running course so were all trained. While Holmes might not be a role model anymore, then, she still stands as an example of why great leaders cant afford to neglect storytelling. Lots of people find it really difficult to understand speech in noisy places. This script can be used for plotting either group results, or the results from an individual participant. We hope that our tests might be useful in the future for assessing this type of difficulty, which is not well assessed by current clinical tests. (2017). Ive had a lovely afternoon presenting an update on my research at the RNID staff summit, and talking to a variety of interesting people. The Speech Perception session that I was moderatingon the first afternoon of the conferenceincluded lots of great talks. The website includes lots of other interesting research summaries on a variety of topics. Our new paperVariational representational similarity analysisis now available online at Neuroimage. Im delighted to announce that Ive been awarded a Pauline Ashley Fellowship from Action in Hearing Loss. Ive recently edited the scripts so that theyre more general, which will hopefully mean that theyre useful to other researchers. All of the articles are written by authors. Thanks to Sarah Verhulst for organising such an interesting meeting and for introducing us to the lovely (albeit a little rainy) city of Ghent! Im on my way to the 41st ARO MidWinter meeting and half the plane is filled with auditory researchers! We recruited pairs of friends and romantic couples. The paper describes two experiments that investigated whether envelope following responses (EFRs) are affected by attention. Magazine We tested non-musicians and musicians who were trained to play each of the three instruments. Our paper in Psych Science is now available online! A few days later, I gave a talk in the Brainstem session. We envisage using these new animations to explain our task to patients and future research participants, and to disseminate our research more widely. EEG activity evoked in preparation for multi-talker listening by adults and children. It shouldnt always be about PBs and constantly chasing times.Im part of a running group called MOJO. You can read the full paper here: Domingo, Y., Holmes, E., Macpherson, E., & Johnsrude, I. S. (2019). Im delighted to have been named as a Rising Star by the Association for Psychological Science. We took over the long runs up to about 10 miles from last September, and then in January we took on the marathon course. It sounds like a lot of Naomi's fierceness has rubbed off on Emma - the model (who was one of the feistiest on the show) said that the number one thing a model needs to impress is a "spark" - but she also inherited Campbell's love of social media ("I'm a massive twitter fan") and an awareness of how now, modelling is more about being a brand, or spokesperson, than just a pretty face: "Modelling is considered a career nowbut I think it's really important to remember you're being followed by a generation of girls. Alex Billig and I organised a Young Investigator Symposium on Non-acoustic influences on speech perception in normal and impaired hearing, which will take place on Tuesday. Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society, International Conference on Auditory Cortex. Ours is Series 2, Episode 30, in case youre interested. But now Im more muscular and toned; Im stronger and fitter. Mike Holmes made a name for himself in the States with his home renovation TV show Holmes on Homes which aired from 2005 to 2009 and spawned more than 80 episodes. Speech recognition is a complex problem. Many thanks to Guarantors of Brain for funding my travel. Ill be talking about how cognition affects speech perception in people with normal and impaired hearing. But she said she didn't want to model because it wasn't challenging enough. Im excited to get working on this project in the new yearwhich includes MEG and behavioural experiments and new modelling work. "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. And its taught me to respect each of the distances, Ive worked out Im more of an endurance runner. We caught up with her the day after shed run the Lydd 20 to find out more about her running, and how she mixes modelling and marathons. It generates quantitative predictions for both behaviour and neural responses, and could be modified for a variety of different purposes. Holmes, E., & Herrmann, B. Training may particularly benefit older people and people with hearing loss, who experience particular difficulty listening in noisy settings, and people whose occupations require accurate speech perception in noisy surroundings, such as aircraft pilots. The paper provides evidence that children with sensorineural hearing loss have a reduced ability to direct selective attention to a talker of interest compared to children of a similar age who have normal hearing. Don't have an account yet? This is my first BSA meeting since I returned to the UK. The conference is free to registercheck out the program on the VCCA website. The summit was held at High Leigh Conference Centre in Hoddeston, which turned out to be a very scenic (and sunny) location. "When we saw the catwalk we were absolutely convinced Emma was the if ( localStorage.getItem(skinItemId ) ) { This enables the model to distinguish between alternative lexically-plausible segmentations, such as Grade A and Grey day. We found that people who had better working memory for frequency were also better at understanding sentences in a noisy background (babble noise). Holmes, E., Zeidman, P., Friston, K. J., & Griffiths, T. D. (2021). 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). The way she walks with her hand on her hips! Speech spoken by familiar people is more resistant to interference by linguistically similar speech. 101: 2020: Familiar Voices Are More Intelligible, Even if They Are Not Recognized as Familiar. The Journal of Neuroscience, 37(21), 52185220. Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO), Brain and Mind Institute Postdoctoral Collaborative Research Grants, summary of my 2016 Hearing Research paper, Frequency Following Response (FFR) workshop. 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! Participants had to detect a pattern (the figure) in the stimuli, in which the tones stayed the same frequency at adjacent chords. 845898), Just so you know, whilst we may receive a commission or other compensation from the links on this website, we never allow this to influence product selections -. I rarely listened to podcasts before the pandemic, but Ive discovered loads of good ones over the past year, which I didnt know existed. Tomorrow, Ill be giving a talk at the Brain Meeting at the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging. Naomi Campbell has been her mentor through the show, and the two speak very warmly of each other. Stay tuned ladies- were predicting big things! Nevertheless, the relative magnitudes of cortical and brainstem contributions to FFRs at different frequencies remain unclear. They assess peoples ability to group a pattern of tones against a background of random tones, which is relevant to understanding speech in noisy settings. Active inference, selective attention, and the cocktail party problem. 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. Normal hearing thresholds and fundamental auditory grouping processes predict difficulties with speech-in-noise perception. This unique case shows that these regions are critically involved in auditory segregation and reveal a new type of auditory agnosia, which is associated with similar symptoms as the visual symptom of simultaneous agnosia. Nature Scientific Reports, 9, 16771. doi:10.1038/s41598-019-53353-5, Weve created some new auditory figure-ground stimuli, which we tested in listeners with normal hearing. Interestingly, the neural benefit of a familiar voice correlated with the behavioural benefit to speech intelligibility, and not the degree of familiarity. Noor simulated how different types of lesions affect word repetition performance (i.e., repeating heard words). Furthermore, even when explicit recognition of familiar voices was eliminated, they were still more intelligible than unfamiliar voicesdemonstrating that familiar voices do not need to be explicitly recognized to benefit intelligibility. In a previous study, we found that the ability to hear speech in noisy places varies widely among people, and relates to auditory figure-ground perception (Holmes & Griffiths, 2019).

We first created a generative model under which a synthetic agent could perform the task accurately. Ive uploaded Praat scripts that Ive used to analyse and manipulate the duration and pitch of speech recordings. Becoming the face of Max Factor is an amazing jump start to what can be a very successful career for her. Such an amazing programme of talks by several of my auditory heroes. My running coach, who took me from a complete beginner up to marathons, didnt want to do all the long-distance stuff because shes not training for a marathon herself, so she approached my friend Emily and me to see if we would consider being running coaches. "She's tough, but nurturing," Holmes told us of her mentor. Ysi Domingos paperUsing spatial release from masking to estimate the magnitude of the familiar-voice intelligibility benefithas been selected to feature on the landing page of the JASA website for the next 3 months. This means that, for these types of errors to occur, attention doesnt necessarily need to be misallocated (i.e., accidentally attending to the non-cued location)but, instead, its simply not allocated strongly enough (i.e., with sufficiently high precision). Ill present work demonstrating that listeners with moderate hearing loss have impaired selective attention, reasons why speech-in-noise perception varies substantially among people with normal hearing, and how we can utilise knowledge about cognition to improve speech intelligibility.
