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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

We are hiring: two new PhD training opportunities starting early next year!
Our two senior researchers, Sarah Tune and Malte Wöstmann, are happy to each announce the opening of a three-year PhD position in the Obleser lab. The positions are part of two recently funded DFG grants, and will feature really exciting combinations of behaviour modelling and neural dynamics! Sarah’s project will look into how perceptual inference […]

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 […]

A quiet innovator: Peter Lakatos (1972–2021)
Our dear colleague and collaborator Peter Lakatos passed away suddenly two months ago. With Peter’s so untimely death at the age of 49, Neuroscience has suffered an unimaginable loss. It has been an honour and privilege to contribute Peter Lakatos’ obituary to Nature Neuroscience. — Jonas Obleser The picture shows Peter just after or during his talk […]

New paper in press in the Journal of Neuroscience
Wöstmann, Alavash and Obleser demonstrate that alpha oscillations in the human brain implement distractor suppression independent of target selection. In theory, the ability to selectively focus on relevant objects in our environment bases on selection of targets and suppression of distraction. As it is unclear whether target selection and distractor suppression are independent, we designed […]
