Kick-Off: Welcome to the new Obleser lab weblog
Welcome to this collection of news, facts and miscellanea from the Jonas Obleser “Cogntive Neuroscience of Speech” headquarters. Currently, these headquarters are situated within the fantastic scientific facilities that the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Leipzig and Prof. Dr. Angela Friederici provide. Our work focuses on how the human brain analyses, […]
