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.

Neural signatures of engagement and event segmentation during story listening in background noise

Very cool stuff! I am very much enjoying the Neon trackers and its wonderful they show overlap with stationary trackers.

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.

Large language models automate event segmentation & recall scoring with human-level accuracy. LLMs identify event boundaries more consistently than humans, while semantic embeddings enable scalable memory assessments. @ryanapanela.bsky.social @bjherrmann.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...
