The Obleser lab | How minds and brains listen in an uncertain world

Tes­ti­mo­ny to the breadth of the sci­ence that our lab is involved in, three new peer-reviewed con­tri­bu­tions got accept­ed in notable jour­nals this week:

Malte Wöst­mann is in press in iScience with a very fresh look at how head rota­tions and eye move­ments fold in with a clas­sic neur­al sig­na­ture of spa­tial­ly selec­tive atten­tion (lat­er­alised alpha-oscil­la­to­ry pow­er): “Spa­tial Atten­tion in the Mov­ing Brain: Dis­so­cia­ble Roles of Neur­al Alpha Oscil­la­tions and Head Rotation”

For­mer lab mem­ber Julia Erb is in press in Ear and Hear­ing with “Spec­tro-tem­po­ral mod­u­la­tion sen­si­tiv­i­ty prospec­tive­ly pre­dicts speech-in-noise recog­ni­tion in cochlear implant users” — a joint pub­li­ca­tion on the audi­to­ry abil­i­ties of almost fifty cochlear implant users, with col­leagues from Bochum, Lis­boa, Mon­tre­al, and Lübeck.

And last­ly, Christi­na Lubi­nus and Johan­na Rim­mele from the Max Planck Insti­tute for Empir­i­cal Aes­thet­ics, Frank­furt, brought on board Anne Kei­t­el, Jonas Obleser and David Poep­pel for the final ver­sion of Christina’s PhD opus mag­num, “Endoge­nous audi­to­ry and motor brain rhythms pre­dict indi­vid­ual speech track­ing”, now to appear in PLoS Biol­o­gy.
