New paper in press in Cerebral Cortex: Wöstmann et al. on ignoring degraded speech
Auditory Cognition’s own Malte Wöstmann is in press in Cerebral Cortex with his latest offering on how attentional control manifests in alpha power changes: Ignoring speech can be beneficial (if comprehending speech potentially detracts from another task), and we here show…
New project with Gesa Hartwigsen (Max Planck Leipzig): What is Angular Gyrus actually up to?
Santa struck early this year: The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) has just granted AC head Jonas (University of Lübeck) and brain-stimulation wiz Gesa Hartwigsen (now a group leader at AC’s former institution, the MPI in Leipzig) a joint 3-year grant, worth 371,000 € in total,…
[UPDATE] New review paper by Wilsch & Obleser in press: What works in auditory working memory?
AC alumna Anna Wilsch (now University of Oldenburg) has a new review paper in press in a special issue on auditory working memory, curated by Jochen Kaiser (Frankfurt) and Michael Brosch (Magdeburg) in “Brain Research”. We provide a review on…
Quick interview for detektor.fm
Based on Malte’s recent J Neurosci study, Jonas did a brief interview for German radio detektor.fm today and talked listening effort, digital phone lines, noise reduction, and next-generation hearing aids with host Teresa Nehm. (In German only.)
Max Planck Society reports on Wöstmann et al.’s Neural alpha dynamics
Some days ago the Max Planck Society put out a news feature on our most recent Journal of Neuroscience paper (see our post): Aufmerksam zuhören — Hirn-Wellen zeigen Mühen des Hörens im Alter an It nicely wraps up Malte’s experiment on alpha dynamics in…
New paper in press in the Journal of Neuroscience: Strauß, Henry, Scharinger, & Obleser
Congratulations to just-graduated former AC PhD student and fresh GIPSA/Grenoble Postdoc Antje Strauß, who today had the last data set from her PhD thesis accepted as a paper in The Journal of Neuroscience. We are all very happy! The paper is…
New paper in press in the Journal of Neuroscience: Wöstmann, Herrmann, Wilsch, & Obleser [UPDATED #2]
Congratulations to AC PhD student Malte Wöstmann for his newly accepted paper in the Journal of Neuroscience! Wöstmann M, Herrmann B, Wilsch A, & Obleser J. Neural alpha dynamics in younger and older listeners reflect acoustic challenges and predictive benefits…
