New paper by Erb et al. in Cerebral Cortex: Human but not monkey auditory cortex is tuned to slow temporal rates
In a new comparative fMRI study just published in Cerebral Cortex, AC postdoc Julia Erb and her collaborators in the Formisano (Maastricht University) and Vanduffel labs (KU Leuven) provide us with novel insights into speech evolution. These data by Erb et…
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)…
