New paper in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, Jessen et al.
Our lab (senior author Sarah Tune) teamed up once again with the Babylab Lübeck, led by Sarah Jessen: Sarah and Sarah co-wrote a great tutorial on how the versatile analysis framework of temporal response functions can be used to analyse brain data obtained in infants. The article has now been accepted for publication in the […]

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 with the Oldenburg brain-stimulation crew!
AC alumna Anna Wilsch has a new paper in press in Neuroimage, with Toralf Neuling, Jonas Obleser, and Christoph Herrmann: “Transcranial alternating current stimulation with speech envelopes modulates speech comprehension”. In this proof-of-concept–like paper, we demonstrate that using the speech envelope as a “pilot signal” for electrically stimulating the human brain, while a listener tries […]

Come see us @ Neuroscience 2017 in DC
Will be at the Society for Neuroscience Meeting next week in DC? Come find us in the Wednesday afternoon session with a bunch of (we think) very cool attention-related posters (Poster boards UU42–UU46): 804.06. Auditory attention and predictive processing co-modulate speech comprehension in middle-aged adults *S. TUNE, M. WÖSTMANN, J. OBLESER; 804.05. Implicit temporal predictability […]

New paper in Plos Biology: Comment by Obleser, Henry, & Lakatos
My colleagues and collaborator Peter Lakatos and Molly Henry and I took to our desks and Matlab consoles, when Assaf Breska and Leon Deouell came out earlier this year with their paper in Plos Biology. We had a few things to say about what we then perceived as a rather pessimistic assessment of neural entrainment. […]

New paper in press: Henry et al., Nature Communications
Here comes a new paper in Nature Communications by former AC postdoc Molly Henry, with former fellow postdoc AC alumnus Björn Herrmann, our tireless lab manager, Dunja Kunke, and myself! It is a late (to us quite important) result from our lab’s tenure at the Max Planck in Leipzig, Henry, M.J., Herrmann, B., Kunke, D., Obleser, J. […]

New preprint paper: Fiedler et al. on predicting focus of attention from in-ear EEG
Very proud: PhD student Lorenz Fiedler goes live (pre-peer-review) with his work of predicting the focus of attention in single-channel/forward models in in-ear EEG! Here is the preprint of the paper, which now will undergo peer-review. Thanks for checking it out!

[UPDATE] New paper in PNAS: Spatiotemporal dynamics of auditory attention synchronize with speech, Woestmann et al.
Wöstmann, Herrmann, Maess and Obleser demonstrate that the hemispheric lateralization of neural alpha oscillations measured in the magnetoencephalogram (MEG) synchronizes with the speech signal and predicts listeners’ speech comprehension.
