New featurette in eLife: Tell me something I don’t know
For those interested in auditory cortex and how a regime of predictions, prediction updates and surprise (a version of “prediction error”) might be implemented there, I contributed a brief featurette (“insight”, they call it) to eLife on a recent paper by Will Sedley, Tim Griffiths, and others. Check it out. [For those not so familiar with […]

[UPDATE] New paper in PNAS: Spatiotemporal dynamics of auditory attention synchronize with speech, Woestmann et al.
Wöstmann, Herrmann, Maess and Obleser demonstrate that the hemispheric lateralization of neural alpha oscillations measured in the magnetoencephalogram (MEG) synchronizes with the speech signal and predicts listeners’ speech comprehension. Now available online: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2016/03/18/1523357113 Press release: https://www.uni-luebeck.de/forschung/aktuelles-zur-forschung/aktuelles-zur-forschung/artikel/aufmerksamkeit-in-wellen-erfolgreich-zuhoeren-im-rhythmus-der-sprache.html

New Paper by Lim, Wöstmann, & Obleser in Journal of Neuroscience
Can you attentively “highlight” auditory traces in memory? If so, what are potential neural mechanisms of it? Sung-Joo Lim’s paper in J Neurosci; Selective Attention to Auditory Memory Neurally Enhances Perceptual Precision is now available online (full text). Congrats!

New paper by Henry, Herrmann, & Obleser in Journal of Neuroscience
Former Obleserlab postdoc Molly Henry with Björn Herrmann and Jonas Obleser has a new publication in press at Journal of Neuroscience. Neural microstates govern perception of auditory input without rhythmic structure by Henry, MJ, Hermann, B, Obleser, J (in press). J Neurosci. In deviation from Molly’s former paradigms, we here aimed at better understanding the […]

[UPDATE] New review paper by Wilsch & Obleser in press: What works in auditory working memory?
AC alumna Anna Wilsch (now University of Oldenburg) has a new review paper in press in a special issue on auditory working memory, curated by Jochen Kaiser (Frankfurt) and Michael Brosch (Magdeburg) in “Brain Research”. We provide a review on neural oscillatory signatures of (various forms of) auditory short-term memory. Wilsch, A., Obleser, J. (in […]

Sensitivity of rat inferior colliculus neurons to frequency distributions by Herrmann et al.
New paper in press by AC Alumni Björn Herrman in collaboration with Ed Bartlett and colleagues from Purdue University on stimulus-statistical and stimulus-specific adaptation in the rat inferior colliculus that will appear soon in the Journal of Neurophysiology.

New editorial in “Brain & Language”: Re-visiting the electrophysiology of language
I had the honour of guest-editing a special issue for the classic journal “Brain and Language” and have thus contributed a brief editorial (now online) to this issue. The special issue re-visits old themes and new leads in the electrophysiology of speech, language, and its precursors. UPDATE: The full special issue appeared in September 2015 […]
