Method and apparatus for adaptive audio signal alteration

An apparatus for audio signal alteration, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
• receive an audio signal as an input;
• receive an electroencephalography (EEG) sensor measurement representative of brain activity of a user;
• determine, based upon the audio signal and the EEG sensor measurement, a correlation that indicates whether the user hears the audio signal;
• in response to determination that the user hears the audio signal, determine that the audio signal causes the user to be distracted;
• and
• in response to determination that the audio signal causes the user to be distracted, cause an alteration to the audio signal to address a distraction caused by the audio signal.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause an apparatus to perform operations for audio signal alteration comprising:

• receiving an audio signal as an input;
• receiving an electroencephalography (EEG) sensor measurement representative of brain activity of a user;
• determining, based upon the audio signal and the EEG sensor measurement, a correlation that indicates whether the user hears the audio signal;
• in response to determining that the user hears the audio signal, determining that the audio signal causes the user to be distracted;
• and
• in response to determining that the audio signal causes the user to be distracted, causing an alteration to the audio signal to address a distraction caused by the audio signal.
