  Strauß strikes again — fron­tiers in Human Neuroscience

  It’s only a week ago that we updat­ed you about Antje’s lat­est pub­li­ca­tion at Neu­roIm­age. Today, there is a anoth­er one com­ing in; Antje’s, Mal­te’s & Jonas’ per­spec­tive arti­cle on cor­ti­cal alpha oscil­la­tions is in press at fron­tiers in HUMAN NEUROSCIENCE. Cor­ti­cal alpha oscil­la­tions as a tool for audi­to­ry selec­tive inhibition — Strauß, Wöst­mann & […]

  3sat fea­tures neur­al oscil­la­tions on TV

  Ger­man pub­lic tele­vi­sion broad­cast­er 3sat fea­tured our research on neur­al oscil­la­tions (see our PNAS Paper) in its series nano . Unfor­tu­nate­ly it’s only in Ger­man. How­ev­er, have fun watch­ing it: [Update] If the embed­ded video is not work­ing for you, watch it on the 3sat web­site (Flash). Ref­er­ences Hen­ry MJ, Obleser J. Fre­quen­cy mod­u­la­tion entrains slow neur­al […]

  New paper in press: Her­rmann, Hen­ry, Grigutsch & Obleser, The Jour­nal of Neu­ro­science [Update]

  Oscil­la­to­ry Phase Dynam­ics in Neur­al Entrain­ment Under­pin Illu­so­ry Per­cepts of Time Nat­ur­al sounds like speech and music inher­ent­ly vary in tem­po over time. Yet, con­tex­tu­al fac­tors such as vari­a­tions in the sound’s loud­ness or pitch influ­ence per­cep­tion of tem­po­ral rate change towards slow­ing down or speed­ing up.

  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 out: Erb, Hen­ry, Eis­ner & Obleser — Jour­nal of Neuroscience

  We are proud to announce that PhD stu­dent Julia Erb just came out with a paper issued in Jour­nal  of Neu­ro­science: The Brain Dynam­ics of Rapid Per­cep­tu­al Adap­ta­tion to Adverse Lis­ten­ing Conditions Grab it here: The Jour­nal of Neu­ro­science, 26 June 2013, 33(26): 10688–10697; doi: 10.1523/​JNEUROSCI.4596–12.2013 Abstract / Full Text Full Text (PDF) Abstract: Lis­ten­ers show a remark­able […]

  New Paper in press — Scharinger, Hen­ry, Obleser, in Mem­o­ry & Cognition

  For nor­mal-hear­ing humans, cat­e­go­riz­ing com­plex acoustic stim­uli is a seem­ing­ly effort­less process, even if one has nev­er heard the par­tic­u­lar sounds before. Nev­er­the­less, pri­or expe­ri­ence with spe­cif­ic cor­re­la­tions between acoustic stim­u­lus prop­er­ties affects the cat­e­go­riza­tion in a ben­e­fi­cial way, as we show in our paper: Pri­or expe­ri­ence with neg­a­tive spec­tral cor­re­la­tions pro­motes infor­ma­tion inte­gra­tion dur­ing audi­to­ry […]
