  Wir suchen Post­doc-Ver­stärkung. (In Ger­man for once.)

  From autumn on, or at the ear­li­est con­ve­nience, we are look­ing for a new post­doc for the (still fair­ly new) Obleser lab in Lübeck. Please see the job advert here. Dead­line for appli­ca­tions is July 6. From this par­tic­u­lar posthold­er we hope for some sup­port in our Meth­ods teach­ing as well, there­fore a decent com­mand of Ger­man will […]

  Why, hel­lo: new gen­er­a­tion of audi­to­ry cog­ni­tion, new lab, new projector

  Final­ly, this is a brief “Hel­lo” from Lübeck, where the new instan­ti­a­tion of the Obleser lab has set up shop: I took this pho­to at the begin­ning of our jour­nal club ses­sion last fri­day; the wide angle being nec­es­sary to show­case our lat­est addi­tion, the new projector. From left to right: Michael Plöchl, Malte Wöst­mann, Lorenz Fiedler, […]

  New paper out: Tune & Asari­dou, Jour­nal of Neuroscience

  Our newest mem­ber of the lab, post-­doc Sarah Tune, just pub­lished a review arti­cle in the Jour­nal of Neu­ro­science. The arti­cle appeared in the “Jour­nal Club” sec­tion, where grad­u­ate stu­dents or post-docs are giv­en the chance to write short review pieces.

  New fea­turette in eLife: Tell me some­thing I don’t know

  For those inter­est­ed in audi­to­ry cor­tex and how a regime of pre­dic­tions, pre­dic­tion updates and sur­prise (a ver­sion of “pre­dic­tion error”) might be imple­ment­ed there, I con­tributed a brief fea­turette (“insight”, they call it) to eLife on a recent paper by Will Sed­ley, Tim Grif­fiths, and oth­ers. Check it out. [For those not so famil­iar with […]

  [UPDATE] New paper in PNAS: Spa­tiotem­po­ral dynam­ics of audi­to­ry atten­tion syn­chro­nize with speech, Woest­mann et al.

  Wöst­mann, Her­rmann, Maess and Obleser demon­strate that the hemi­spher­ic lat­er­al­iza­tion of neur­al alpha oscil­la­tions mea­sured in the mag­ne­toen­cephalo­gram (MEG) syn­chro­nizes with the speech sig­nal and pre­dicts lis­ten­ers’ speech comprehension.

  Herb­st & Lan­dau on Rhythms for cog­ni­tion: the case of tem­po­ral processing

  In an invit­ed review in Cur­rent Opin­ion in Behav­ioral Sci­ences, Sophie Herb­st and Ayelet Lan­dau (The Hebrew Uni­ver­si­ty of Jerusalem) dis­cuss the role of spon­ta­neous and stim­u­lus-evoked neur­al oscil­la­tions in tem­po­ral processing.

  New appoint­ments as Han­dling Edi­tor in “Neu­roim­age” and Asso­ciate Edi­tor in “Jour­nal of Neuroscience”

  It’s a great hon­our to have been appoint­ed over the last days to the edi­to­r­i­al board of two high­ly esteemed sci­en­tif­ic jour­nals, “Neu­roim­age” as well as the super-clas­sic “Jour­nal of Neu­ro­science”. I hope I will be able to live up to the expectations. — J.O.
