New Paper accepted in Plos Biology, Alavash et al.
Our lab is proud and happy that another major stepping stone from our ERC consolidator project (“AUDADAPT”) is now accepted for publication in PLoS Biology! Congratulations to our first author Dr Mohsen Alavash, now a senior researcher in the…
New Paper in Cognition by Lavan, Kreitewolf et al.
Congratulations to former Obleser postdoc Jens Kreitewolf (now at McGill University) for his new paper in Cognition, “Familiarity and task context shape the use of acoustic information in voice identity perception”! Together with our colleagues from London, Nadine Lavan and…
New Paper in Trends in Hearing by Kraus et al.
Frauke Kraus, Sarah Tune, Anna Ruhe, Jonas Obleser & Malte Wöstmann demonstrate that unilateral acoustic degradation delays attentional separation of competing speech. Unilateral cochlear implant (CI) users have to integrate acoustically intact speech on one ear and acoustically degraded speech…
A quiet innovator: Peter Lakatos (1972–2021)
Our dear colleague and collaborator Peter Lakatos passed away suddenly two months ago. With Peter’s so untimely death at the age of 49, Neuroscience has suffered an unimaginable loss. It has been an honour and privilege to contribute Peter Lakatos’ obituary…
New paper in Nature Communications by Tune et al.
We are very excited to share that Obleserlab postdoc Sarah Tune has a new paper in Nature Communications. „Neural attentional-filter mechanisms of listening success in middle-aged and older participants“ is our latest and to-date most extensive output of the longitudinal…
New Perspective paper in Neuron by Waschke et al.
We are excited to share that former Obleserlab PhD student Leo Waschke, together with his new (Doug Garrett, Niels Kloosterman) and old (Jonas Obleser) lab has published an in-depth perspective piece in Neuron, with the provocative title “Behavior need neural variability”.…
New paper in eLife: Erb et al., Temporal selectivity declines in the aging human auditory cortex
Congratulations to Obleserlab postdoc Julia Erb for her new paper to appear in eLife, “Temporal selectivity declines in the aging human auditory cortex”. It’s a trope that older listeners struggle more in comprehending speech (think of Professor Tournesol in the…
