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 […]

Your mother’s voice — out now in the Journal of Neuroscience
How do infants continuously process familiar social signals? And how does this familiarity shape perception? In a new paper out now in November in the Journal of Neuroscience, Jonas and Martin Orf teamed up with The Lübeck Babylab and its Director Sarah Jessen. In a large group of 7‑months old infants and their families, Sarah […]

New paper in Journal of Neuroscience: Mamashli et al.
Jonas collaborated with former Max Planck colleagues and the Marinos Imaging Center at Harvard (first author Fahimeh Mamashli) on a re-analysis of a simple speech/language paradigm. In this new paper out now in J Neurosci, Fahimeh shows that activity in the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) doesn’t just respond to meaning—it predicts it. Using machine learning, […]

Martin Orf receives EUHA Award for Outstanding Thesis
Martin Orf is one of three recipients of this year’s EUHA Award for Outstanding Thesis from the European Union of Hearing Acousticians. His thesis, titled “Selective Attention in Multi-Talker Situations: Neural and Behavioral Mechanisms”, offers valuable insights into the neural and behavioural processes behind selective attention in complex listening environments. A key finding of his […]

eLife insight on unifying brain networks
Obleserlab network-science wiz and designated head of OPM-magnetoencephalography operations in Lübeck, Mohsen Alavash has provided a neat little “insight” (a magazine-like brief article, essentially) in scientific journal eLife, “Brain Activity: Unifying networks of a rhythm”. In his eLife insight, Mohsen covers a new study on brain-wide beta oscillatory networks and their link to the dopaminergic […]

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 […]

Joint lab meeting with the Donner lab
Last week, we ventured over to Hamburg (a mere 65 km southeast of Lübeck) and spent a wonderful day with our friendly hosts, the Tobias Donner lab, at the University Clinic Eppendorf (UKE). It was very inspiring to identify and discuss the many common threads that drive our join interest in perception and decision-making, in […]

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 […]
