Three new papers accepted this week
Testimony to the breadth of the science that our lab is involved in, three new peer-reviewed contributions got accepted in notable journals this week: Malte Wöstmann is in press in iScience with a very fresh look at how head rotations and eye movements fold in with a classic neural signature of spatially selective attention (lateralised alpha-oscillatory […]

New paper in eLife: Predicting what’s next does not necessarily come for free
Merle Schuckart has recently put out the center piece of her doctoral research. Out in open access journal eLife, Merle led a diverse team — the Obleser and the Tune groups of Lübeck, the Hartwigsen lab (Leipzig) , and Lea-Maria Schmitt from the Donders institute in Nijmegen — through a multi-study endeavour how reading, as […]

Your mother’s voice — out now in the Journal of Neuroscience
How do infants continuously process familiar social signals? And how does this familiarity shape perception? In a new paper out now in November in the Journal of Neuroscience, Jonas and Martin Orf teamed up with The Lübeck Babylab and its Director Sarah Jessen. In a large group of 7‑months old infants and their families, Sarah […]

New paper with our Leipzig friends in the Journal of Neuroscience
The Gesa Hartwigsen lab’s own Vivien Barchet and their team in Leipzig with some help from Jonas have just published a compelling study in The Journal of Neuroscience titled “Attentional engagement with target and distractor streams predicts speech comprehension in multi-talker environments”. In everyday listening scenes—think cocktail parties, cafés, or busy open offices—the brain must […]

New paper in Trends in Hearing: Hearing aids add a demonstrable amount of cognitive burden
A true Hoerhanse collabo: Markus Kemper and our colleagues from the Deutsche Hörgeräte Institut (DHI) show, with Jonas’ help, and using data acquired in our lab, that hearing aids do take their however slight toll on the cognitive system: Despite the unquestionably great help that hearing devices do provide to those with impaired hearing, the […]

New paper in Journal of Neuroscience: Mamashli et al.
Jonas collaborated with former Max Planck colleagues and the Marinos Imaging Center at Harvard (first author Fahimeh Mamashli) on a re-analysis of a simple speech/language paradigm. In this new paper out now in J Neurosci, Fahimeh shows that activity in the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) doesn’t just respond to meaning—it predicts it. Using machine learning, […]
