Overview

Adriana A. Zekveld is affiliated with Amsterdam UMC in the Netherlands. Their research primarily focuses on the interdisciplinary fields of neuroscience and health professions, with a notable emphasis on cognitive neuroscience and speech and hearing. The subfields they contribute to include signal processing, sensory systems, and pulmonary and respiratory medicine.

The main topics covered in their work revolve around hearing loss and rehabilitation as well as noise effects and management. They further explore speech and audio processing, hearing physiology including cochlea and tinnitus genetics, neuroscience related to music perception, and methods in phonocardiography and auscultation techniques. Their research also touches on multisensory perception and integration.

Adriana A. Zekveld has authored numerous publications, with frequent appearances in journals such as Ear and Hearing, Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research, Hearing Research, Trends in Hearing, and The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America.

Notable recent papers include:

  • The effect of monetary reward on listening effort and sentence recognition, 2021, Hearing Research
  • Investigating the Influences of Task Demand and Reward on Cardiac Pre-Ejection Period Reactivity During a Speech-in-Noise Task, 2020, Ear and Hearing
  • Effect of Speech-to-Noise Ratio and Luminance on a Range of Current and Potential Pupil Response Measures to Assess Listening Effort, 2021, Trends in Hearing
  • The Presence of Another Individual Influences Listening Effort, But Not Performance, 2021, Ear and Hearing
  • Social observation increases the cardiovascular response of hearing-impaired listeners during a speech reception task, 2021, Hearing Research

The scientist frequently collaborates with other researchers. Their recurrent co-authors include Sophia E. Kramer, Niek J. Versfeld, Hidde Pielage, Thomas Lunner, and Bethany Plain. These collaborations appear to contribute significantly to their body of work within the research community.
