  Con­fer­ence travel

This year, mem­bers of the Obleser lab have been present in Den­mark, Por­tu­gal, the Nether­lands, and we will hit North­ern Italy next week for a great […]

  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, […]

  Jonas has become a mem­ber of the Bern­stein Network

  As of today, I am hon­oured to have become a mem­ber of the Bern­stein Net­work Com­pu­ta­tion­al Neu­ro­science. The Bern­stein Net­work Com­pu­ta­tion­al Neu­ro­science brings togeth­er over 200 research groups and 450 indi­vid­ual sci­en­tists world­wide, facil­i­tat­ing col­lab­o­ra­tion between exper­i­men­tal neu­ro­science, the­o­ret­i­cal mod­el­ing, and com­put­er sim­u­la­tion. Estab­lished in 2004 through fund­ing by the Ger­man Fed­er­al Min­istry of Edu­ca­tion […]

  The Obleser lab branch­es out

  Our lab has con­tin­ued to diver­si­fy con­sid­er­ably and to mature aca­d­e­m­i­cal­ly over the last years. With Sarah Tune and Malte Wöst­mann, we have now two senior sci­en­tists who lead teams with­in our group, which I am very proud of. Sarah Tune leads the Cog­ni­tive Mod­el­ling team and Malte Wöst­mann has been lead­ing the Dynam­ics of Atten­tion […]

  eLife insight on uni­fy­ing brain networks

  Oble­ser­lab net­work-sci­ence wiz and des­ig­nat­ed head of OPM-mag­ne­toen­cephalog­ra­phy oper­a­tions in Lübeck, Mohsen Alavash has pro­vid­ed a neat lit­tle “insight” (a mag­a­zine-like brief arti­cle, essen­tial­ly) in sci­en­tif­ic jour­nal eLife, “Brain Activ­i­ty: Uni­fy­ing net­works of a rhythm”. In his eLife insight, Mohsen cov­ers a new study on brain-wide beta oscil­la­to­ry net­works and their link to the dopamin­er­gic […]

  Joint lab meet­ing with the Don­ner lab

  Last week, we ven­tured over to Ham­burg (a mere 65 km south­east of Lübeck) and spent a won­der­ful day with our friend­ly hosts, the Tobias Don­ner lab, at the Uni­ver­si­ty Clin­ic Eppen­dorf (UKE). It was very inspir­ing to iden­ti­fy and dis­cuss the many com­mon threads that dri­ve our join inter­est in per­cep­tion and deci­sion-mak­ing, in […]
