A few weeks ago, we had two scientifically very intense days where we retreated to Cornelius Borck’s lovely University outpost in the pittoresque city center of Lübeck (thanks for having us!) and re-visited and re-thought out current and future research agenda. Thanks to all current (and future!) lab members who contributed so thoughtfully to this. I enjoyed it immensely. After a few years without proper lab retreats and now the pandemic behind us, we will certainly do more of this later in the year.

We are delighted to be a founding member of the Hörhanse, a Lübeck consortium of all players researching, teaching, selling, or treating hearing.
Hearing acoustics is a focal point at the Hanse Innovation Campus Lübeck. Unique in Germany is the large number of institutions that work together with renowned players to advance the topic of hearing around the campus: Hearing, acoustics and communication are advanced in their most diverse facets in research projects, study programmes, the nationwide training of hearing care professionals, in the clinical area and through interdisciplinary cooperation.
The founding project partners of HörHanse are the three universities in Lübeck: our host institution University of Lübeck, plus the Lübeck University of Technology, Musikhochschule Lübeck (MHL), as well as the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, the German Hearing Aid Institute (DHI), the Federal Guild of Hearing Aid Acousticians (biha), the Academy of Hearing Aid Acoustics, the State Vocational School for Hearing Aid Acousticians, and the company hear concept.
See the German press release here.
Details are to follow, but we and our many colleagues in the Hoerhanse Lübeck [hanseatic hearing] are very pleased to have secured substantial funds to kick-start our communication and cross-fertilization platform for hearing research, training, and treatment here in Lübeck. The project will be hosted at our partner, Hanse Innovation Campus (HIC) Lübeck. HIC will also be hiring soon for this poject. Stay tuned for all the details!
Im Februar hatte ich die Ehre, für die Kind Hörstiftung auf deren 2019er Symposium in Berlin unsere Arbeiten zur Vorhersage des Hörerfolgs exemplarisch anhand einiger unserer Studien allgemeinverständlich zu beleuchten. Ein 25-minütiges Video dieses Vortrags ist jetzt online.
(In February, I had the honour of presenting some of our recent work on predicting individuals’ listening success at the symposium of the Kind Hearing Foundation. A video in German is now available.)
Happy and enormously honoured to start my tenure as a @JNeuroscience reviewing editor! https://t.co/yMNOht4Py9

After three very interesting and instructive years as a handling editor for Neuroimage, I have just accepted an invitation to join my favourite journal, the classic Journal of Neuroscience, as what they call “Reviewing editor” (i.e., handling or action editor). Looking forward to some exciting science on our desks there!
The scientific publishing field is changing fast, and I am particularly happy for the opportunity to help foster a successful, society-run journal like The Journal of Neuroscience in the three upcoming years.

During the upcoming meeting of “Psychology and the Brain 2018”, PhD student Leo Waschke will be hosting a symposium on states and traits of neural activity and their functional relevance for perception and ageing. Together with Linda Geerligs (Donders Institute, NL), Marieke Schölvinck (ESI, Frankfurt) and Niels Kloosterman (MPIB, Berlin) he will be addressing fluctuations in brain activity on a host of timescales from milliseconds to minutes. We are looking forward to meeting you in Giessen.
Come and see our very first auditory cognition newsletter. From now on we want to present impressions of our latest work and results twice a year. In the interview section you also have the chance to learn more about our members.
Please note: As the newsletter also reaches our participants it is written in german.
