Physiological Measures of Reduced Listening Effort in Active Noise Canceling: Evidence from Low-β Functional Network in an Event-Related Potential Study

Key Points

• Reduced listening effort is observed, indicating potential benefits of active noise canceling.
• Participants show significant changes in low-β functional network activity during listening tasks.
• Event-related potential assessments demonstrate how physiological measures relate to listening effort.
• Findings highlight the need for further noise mitigation strategies based on physiological data.
