  DRa­dio broad­cast­ed three fea­tures on neur­al oscil­la­tions (Hen­ry & Obleser)

  Ger­man radio broad­cast­er Deutsch­landra­dio pro­duced three recent reports on neur­al oscil­la­tions and our recent PNAS paper. You can lis­ten to/read (in Ger­man lan­guage) them here: 26.11.2012 — Die Macht der Gle­ich­mäßigkeit  02.12.2012 — Hören in Wellen  03.12.2012 — Rhyth­mis­ches Gehirn  Next time we’ll post before the broad­cast­ing takes place… Ref­er­ences Hen­ry MJ, Obleser J.

  New Paper in PNAS: Hen­ry & Obleser [Updat­ed]

  Our new paper on neur­al entrain­ment with spec­tral fluc­tu­a­tions, and its effects on near-thresh­old audi­to­ry per­cep­tion is now online in the “ear­ly edi­tion” of PNAS: Hen­ry, MJ & Obleser, J (in press): Fre­quen­cy mod­u­la­tion entrains slow neur­al oscil­la­tions and opti­mizes human lis­ten­ing behavior Pro­ceed­ings of the Nation­al Acad­e­my of Sci­ences of the Unit­ed States of Amer­i­ca […]

  Wel­come Malte Wöstmann

  We wel­come Malte Wöst­mann, who grad­u­at­ed from the Cog­ni­tive Sci­ence pro­gram in Osnabrück, as a new PhD stu­dent in the group. Malte will be part of the new (2012–2015) cohort of the Inter­na­tion­al Max Planck Research School “Neu­ro­com”. By the way, Malte already worked with us as an intern in 2010 and recent­ly co-authored our J Neu­rosci […]

  New paper by Mol­ly Hen­ry: Amu­sia diag­no­sis should bet­ter rely on sig­nal detec­tion theory

  Sig­nal detec­tion the­o­ry – what helps pre­vent­ing mis­di­ag­noses and false pos­i­tives in gen­er­al can’t be bad for diag­nos­ing Amu­sia either, one would think. Our very own Mol­ly Hen­ry and her for­mer super­vi­sor Devin McAuley now demon­strate in a just-accept­ed paper Fail­ure to apply sig­nal detec­tion the­o­ry to the Mon­tre­al Bat­tery of Eval­u­a­tion of Amu­sia may mis­di­ag­nose amusia […]

  New paper out: Obleser et al., The Jour­nal of Neuroscience

  Adverse Lis­ten­ing Con­di­tions and Mem­o­ry Load Dri­ve a Com­mon Alpha Oscil­la­to­ry Network Whether we are engaged in small talk or try­ing to mem­o­rise a tele­phone num­ber — it is our short-term mem­o­ry that ensures we don’t lose track. But what if the very same mem­o­ry gets addi­tion­al­ly taxed because the words to be remem­bered are […]

  New paper out: “Don’t be enslaved by the enve­lope” – Com­ment on Giraud & Poep­pel (2012)

  Today appears a com­ment / opin­ion arti­cle, with a tad bit of fresh evi­dence from our lab, that is main­ly a reply to Anne-Lise Giraud and David Poeppel’s recent “per­spec­tive” arti­cle on Neur­al oscil­la­tions in speech. We loved that arti­cle, obvi­ous­ly, but after the ini­tial excite­ment, a few con­cerns stuck with us. In essence, the […]
