eLife insight on unifying brain networks
Obleserlab network-science wiz and designated head of OPM-magnetoencephalography operations in Lübeck, Mohsen Alavash has provided a neat little “insight” (a magazine-like brief article, essentially) in scientific journal eLife, “Brain Activity: Unifying networks of a rhythm”. In his eLife insight, Mohsen covers a new study on brain-wide beta oscillatory networks and their link to the dopaminergic […]

New paper out in Science Advances: Statistical contributions to finding a Hepatitis C vaccine
The ways of science can be quite long-winded and intricate sometimes: In such a project, Obleserlab team members Sarah Tune and myself (J.O.) had been making interesting contact with the very remote fields of biochemistry and infectiology, through the lab of Lübeck‘s Thomas Krey and their quite exciting project: Designing a new candidate for an […]

New paper with the Weisz lab in eLife: Aberrant perceptual predictions in Tinnitus
Now out in eLife, Lisa Reisinger and Nathan Weisz (Salzburg) with a diverse team including myself (J.O.) show, using state of the art decoding models and a rigorous approach of internal, pre-registered replication, that people living with tinnitus (a chronic and often very distressing auditory “phantom percept”) show altered patterns of predictive auditory processing. Check […]

It was very inspiring to identify and discuss the many common threads that drive our join interest in perception and decision-making, in […]

New research building for the University of Lübeck: LEMMI is here to stay.
A very fortunate development: The University of Lübeck has been granted a new research building (by recommendation of the Wissenschaftsrat, a pivotal, joint federal- and state-level agency for these matters) . Jonas Obleser had the privilege to help steer the conceptual stages of this new “Lübeck environment for minds and machines in interaction” (LEMMI – named […]

Jonas elected and appointed as DFG review panelist
Jonas Obleser has been elected by the German scientific community as one of the new members of the so-called “Fachkollegium” (a select, standing group of review panelists) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) in the field of systemic and cognitive neuroscience. This is an honourable, non-profit additional task that primarily involves suggesting fundings decisions for […]
