2015 — Embracing Change in the Obleser Lab
Time flies: The Auditory Cognition group aka The Obleser Lab has just entered its fifth year. We took off properly in early 2011, so this is a good point in time to briefly recap. We have had four exciting and very productive years so far, and this fifth year is bringing a lot of exciting […]

New grant by the Oticon Foundation
Our lab has been awarded a 100,000 € (750,000 DKK) research grant by the Danish Oticon foundation. Together with Thomas Lunner from the Eriksholm Research Centre, we will explore real-time neural (EEG) measures and forms of neural hearing-aid control. This work is conceived to support and further develop our efforts funded earlier in 2014 by the Volkswagen Foundation (from the […]

SNAP summary and impressions
The SNAP workshop (Signal and Noise along the Auditory Pathway) is behind us. It is safe to say that it has been a great success. We will carefully look into the evaluation forms you provided, and we will inform here in due course whether and when a 2nd SNAP (potentially 2015) is in the making. […]

SNAP Day 1 is behind us
A great day 1 of the SNAP workshop is behind us. It could go on forever, if it would be according to me. While Thomas Lunner was sadly stopped short by new program committee member, pan-European storm rascal “Xaver”, 45 others made it succesfully to the Max Planck in Leipzig, witnessing Ingrid Johnsrude, Torsten Dau, Alexandra […]
