New Paper in Cognition by Lavan, Kreitewolf et al.
Congratulations to former Obleser postdoc Jens Kreitewolf (now at McGill University) for his new paper in Cognition, “Familiarity and task context shape the use of acoustic information in voice identity perception”! Together with our colleagues from London, Nadine Lavan and Carolyn McGettigan, we took a new approach to test the longstanding theoretical claim that listeners […]

New Paper in Trends in Hearing by Kraus et al.
Frauke Kraus, Sarah Tune, Anna Ruhe, Jonas Obleser & Malte Wöstmann demonstrate that unilateral acoustic degradation delays attentional separation of competing speech. Unilateral cochlear implant (CI) users have to integrate acoustically intact speech on one ear and acoustically degraded speech on the other ear. How interact unilateral acoustic degradation and spatial attention in a multitalker […]

A quiet innovator: Peter Lakatos (1972–2021)
Our dear colleague and collaborator Peter Lakatos passed away suddenly two months ago. With Peter’s so untimely death at the age of 49, Neuroscience has suffered an unimaginable loss. It has been an honour and privilege to contribute Peter Lakatos’ obituary to Nature Neuroscience. — Jonas Obleser The picture shows Peter just after or during his talk […]

Jonas as a guest on the Language Neuroscience Podcast
Episode 4 of the Language Neuroscience Podcast. Ever wondered about the role of neural oscillations & neural entrainment in speech & language? Well I have… so I invited the great @jonasobleser to come talk about it. I really enjoyed this conversation! https://t.co/vflcfxbLS5 pic.twitter.com/BPkruYV26E — Stephen Wilson (@smwilsonau) March 9, 2021 Thanks to colleague Stephen Wilson from […]

New Perspective paper in Neuron by Waschke et al.
We are excited to share that former Obleserlab PhD student Leo Waschke, together with his new (Doug Garrett, Niels Kloosterman) and old (Jonas Obleser) lab has published an in-depth perspective piece in Neuron, with the provocative title “Behavior need neural variability”. Our article is essentially a long and extensive tribute to the “second moment” of neural […]

Welcome to new members Hongi Ngo and Markus Kemper!
We would like to extend a warm welcome to our new lab members: Dr. Hong-Viet (“Hongi”) Ngo, who is a Uni Lübeck PhD alumnus himself, but joins us from the Donders Institute and who is an avid expert on sleep, memory, and auditory stimulation to entrain slow-wave sleep activity. Markus Kemper just graduated from University […]
