New Paper by Lim, Wöstmann, & Obleser in Journal of Neuroscience
Can you attentively “highlight” auditory traces in memory? If so, what are potential neural mechanisms of it? Sung-Joo Lim’s paper in J Neurosci; Selective Attention to Auditory Memory Neurally Enhances Perceptual Precision is now available online (full text). Congrats!

[UPDATE] New review paper by Wilsch & Obleser in press: What works in auditory working memory?
AC alumna Anna Wilsch (now University of Oldenburg) has a new review paper in press in a special issue on auditory working memory, curated by Jochen Kaiser (Frankfurt) and Michael Brosch (Magdeburg) in “Brain Research”. We provide a review on neural oscillatory signatures of (various forms of) auditory short-term memory. Wilsch, A., Obleser, J. (in […]

We’ll be hiring soon: Postdocs wanted
The research group “Auditory Cognition” (headed by Prof. Dr. Jonas Obleser; auditorycognition.com) in the recently established Department of Psychology, University of Lübeck, is seeking to hire several Postdoctoral Researchers starting by January 2016, initially for 3 years, with the option of a 2‑year extension. These positions will fall into the larger framework of an ERC […]

Max Planck Society reports on Wöstmann et al.’s Neural alpha dynamics
Some days ago the Max Planck Society put out a news feature on our most recent Journal of Neuroscience paper (see our post): Aufmerksam zuhören — Hirn-Wellen zeigen Mühen des Hörens im Alter an It nicely wraps up Malte’s experiment on alpha dynamics in younger and older listeners. Check the link above for the full article (German). References Wöstmann […]

New paper in press: Erb & Obleser, Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience
Julia Erb just got accepted the third study of her PhD project, Upregulation of cognitive control networks in older adults’ speech comprehension It will appear in Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience soon. The data are an extension (in older adults) of Julia’s Journal of Neuroscience paper earlier this year. References Erb J, Obleser J. Upregulation of cognitive […]
