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 […]

New paper has been published in Cerebral Cortex by Henry, Herrmann, & Obleser
When we listen to sounds like speech and music, we have to make sense of different acoustic features that vary simultaneously along multiple time scales. This means that we, as listeners, have to selectively attend to, but at the same time selectively ignore, separate but intertwined features of a stimulus. A newly published fMRI study […]

New paper in press: Erb et al., Neuropsychologia [Update]
I am very proud to announce our first paper that was entirely planned, conducted, analysed and written up since our group has been in existence. Julia joined me as the first PhD student in December 2010, and has since been busy doing awesome work. Check out her first paper! Auditory skills and brain morphology predict individual […]

New paper out: McGettigan et al., Neuropsychologia
Last years’s lab guest and long-time collaborator Carolyn McGettigan has put out another one: Speech comprehension aided by multiple modalities: Behavioural and neural interactions I had the pleasure to be involved initially, when Carolyn conceived a lot of this, and when things came together in the end. Carolyn nicely demonstrates how varying audio and visual clarity […]

New paper out: “Upstream delegation” for processing of complex syntax under degraded acoustics
A new paper is about to appear in Neuroimage on the interaction of syntactic complexity and acoustic degradation. It is written by myself, PhD student Lars Meyer, and Angela Friederici. In a way, the paper brings together one of Angela’s main research questions (which brain circuits mediate the processing of syntax?) with a long-standing interest […]

New paper out: Patterns of vowel and consonant sensitivity
Dear followers of the slowly emerging Obleser lab, I am glad to present to you a new paper that was published last week: “Segregation of vowels and consonants in human auditory cortex: Evidence for distributed hierarchical organization” by Jonas Obleser, Amber Leaver, John VanMeter, and Josef P. Rauschecker, in Frontiers in Psychology. It was submitted to […]

Visit us at CNS
UPDATE — The Volcano ash that Island is kindly supplying might prevent us from getting to Montréal. Let’s see whether we make it until the poster session starts on Sunday. But I am slightly pessimistic on that. I am currently quite busy with finishing off loads of old data and preparing new adventures in auditory […]
