New paper in The Journal of Neuroscience: Wilsch et al.., Temporal expectation modulates the cortical dynamics of short-term memory
Congratulations to Obleserlab alumna Anna Wilsch, who is – for now – leaving academia on a true high with her latest offering on how temporal expectations (“foreknowledge” about when something is to happen) shape the neural make-up of memory! Recorded…
New paper in press in ‘Neuroimage’: Alavash, Lim, et al
Obleserlab postdoc Mohsen Alavash and Obleserlab Alumna Sung-Joo Lim are in press at Neuroimage! They argue with data from a placebo-controlled dopaminergic intervention study that BOLD signal variability and the functional connectome are surprisingly clearly affected by L-Dopa, and (ii)…

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…
New paper in press in Cerebral Cortex: Wöstmann et al. on ignoring degraded speech
Auditory Cognition’s own Malte Wöstmann is in press in Cerebral Cortex with his latest offering on how attentional control manifests in alpha power changes: Ignoring speech can be beneficial (if comprehending speech potentially detracts from another task), and we here show…
New project with Gesa Hartwigsen (Max Planck Leipzig): What is Angular Gyrus actually up to?
Santa struck early this year: The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) has just granted AC head Jonas (University of Lübeck) and brain-stimulation wiz Gesa Hartwigsen (now a group leader at AC’s former institution, the MPI in Leipzig) a joint 3-year grant, worth 371,000 € in total,…
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…
