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 how this change in listening goals turns around the pattern of alpha-power changes with changing […]

Story time: Henry & Obleser (2012) revisited
Story time: Some time in early 2011, I sat down with an American, fresh PhD graduate who had just joined my new lab, in a Leipzig bar (Café Cantona; if you are interested you can find this great 24⁄7 bar with exquisite food also in the acknowledgments of, e.g., Obleser & Eisner, Trends Cogn Sci, 2009).

New paper in press: Wöstmann, Schröger, & Obleser in J Cogn Neurosci
Congratulation to PhD student Malte Wöstmann, who – with Erich Schröger and Jonas Obleser – has a new article in press at the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience Acoustic detail guides attention allocation in a selective listening task forthcoming. We will update you accordingly as the paper comes online. We will share however one of Malte’s figures here as […]

New paper in press: Henry, Herrmann, & Obleser in PNAS
Congratulations to Auditory Cognition’s very own Molly Henry who, with Björn Herrmann and Jonas Obleser, is about to publish yet another PNAS paper: Entrained neural oscillations in multiple frequency bands co-modulate behavior Henry MJ, Herrmann B, & Obleser J. PNAS, in press. We are very excited about this one, as it harks back to Molly’s 2012 PNAS paper yet […]

New paper in press: Hartwigsen, Golombek, & Obleser in Cortex [UPDATED]
In a collaboration with the University Clinic of Leipzig and Prof Dr Gesa Hartwigsen (now University of Kiel), a new paper is to appear in “Cortex”, in the forthcoming special issue on Prediction in Speech and Language, edited by Alessandro Tavano and AC alumnus Mathias Scharinger. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over left angular gyrus modulates […]

New paper in press: Herrmann et al., Hearing Research [Update]
Auditory filter width affects response magnitude but not frequency specificity in auditory cortex This is fantastic news on a friday morning: Obleser lab Postdoc Björn Herrmann teamed up with his fellow Postdocs Mathias Scharinger and Molly Henry to study how spectral analysis in the auditory periphery (termed frequency selectivity) relates to processing in auditory cortex […]

New paper out: Are early N100 and the late Gamma-band response negatively correlated in comprehension of degraded speech?
Late 2010 was particularly good to us: Multiple brain signatures of integration in the comprehension of degraded speech by Jonas Obleser and Sonja Kotz, in NeuroImage. The final pdf will hopefully be available online very soon. Meanwhile the figure below captures our main results: References Obleser J, Kotz SA. Multiple brain signatures of integration in the […]
