New paper out in the ‘European Journal of Neuroscience’: Tune, Wöstmann & Obleser
AC postdocs Sarah Tune and Malte Wöstmann have a new paper out online in the special issue on Neural Oscillations in the European Journal of Neuroscience! We are excited to share the results from our first study of the ERC-funded…
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 with the Oldenburg brain-stimulation crew!
AC alumna Anna Wilsch has a new paper in press in Neuroimage, with Toralf Neuling, Jonas Obleser, and Christoph Herrmann: “Transcranial alternating current stimulation with speech envelopes modulates speech comprehension”. In this proof-of-concept–like paper, we demonstrate that using the speech…
SNAP 2017 was a vast success
SNAP 2017 took place on December 8 and 9 in Lübeck, Germany. Nine internationally esteemed speakers and in total more than sixty researchers from all over Europe, Canada and the US made the second Signal and Noise Along the Auditory…
New paper in Plos Biology: Comment by Obleser, Henry, & Lakatos
My colleagues and collaborator Peter Lakatos and Molly Henry and I took to our desks and Matlab consoles, when Assaf Breska and Leon Deouell came out earlier this year with their paper in Plos Biology. We had a few things…
New paper in press in Journal of Neural Engineering: Fiedler et al. on in-ear-EEG and the focus of auditory attention
Towards a brain-controlled hearing aid: PhD student Lorenz Fiedler shows how attended and ignored auditory streams are differently represented in the neural responses and how the focus of auditory attention can be extracted from EEG signals recorded at electrodes placed…
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…
