Three new papers accepted this week
Testimony to the breadth of the science that our lab is involved in, three new peer-reviewed contributions got accepted in notable journals this week: Malte Wöstmann is in press in iScience with a very fresh look at how head rotations and eye movements fold in with a classic neural signature of spatially selective attention (lateralised alpha-oscillatory […]

Hooray! The Collaborative Research Grant “Foundations of Circadiane Medicine” is here (to stay).
Very happy that our lab will be part of the new DFG-funded Collaborative Research Centre („Sonderforschungsbereich“, SFB) Transregio 418 between the Charité Berlin and University of Lübeck, spearheaded by chronobiology wizards Achim Kramer (Berlin) and Henrik Oster (Lübeck) — “Foundations of Circadian Medicine”. A CRC/SFB collects about 15 projects, central funds, and many principal investigators from […]

New paper in Trends in Hearing: Hearing aids add a demonstrable amount of cognitive burden
A true Hoerhanse collabo: Markus Kemper and our colleagues from the Deutsche Hörgeräte Institut (DHI) show, with Jonas’ help, and using data acquired in our lab, that hearing aids do take their however slight toll on the cognitive system: Despite the unquestionably great help that hearing devices do provide to those with impaired hearing, the […]

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 […]

A busy talk schedule at the Obleser lab
These two weeks, we have been fortunate to host two superbe guest talks by Philipp Sterzer from Universität Basel and Ayelet Landau from Hebrew University of Jerusalem here at the Center of Brain, Behavior and Metabolism. Philipp Sterzer spoke of his rich and intruiging body of work showing how the predictive perceiving mind appears to […]

New papers in autumn 2023:
Twenty-twentythree has probably not been our most prolific year in terms of putting out new research findings, which in part is an interesting delayed consequence of the lab close-down/slow-down in the pandemic years. But … … here we are in autumn 2023 with no less than three fresh findings and perspectives: First, graduate trainee Frauke Kraus […]

New Review paper on Circadian Rhythms in Auditory Hallucinations and Psychosis to come out in “Acta Physiologica”
As part of our increased efforts to understand the impact of chronobiology in sensation and perception, a new review article by senior researcher Hong-Viet Ngo in the lab and Jonas Obleser, together with psychiatrist Christina Andreou and chrononeurophysiologist Henrik Oster is forthcoming! The paper summarises our (sketchy) knowledge on how circadian rhythms impact auditory hallucination […]
