  • 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,… [READ MORE]

  • 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… [READ MORE]

  • New paper in the Euro­pean Jour­nal of Neu­ro­science: Neur­al Effects of Dis­trac­tor Pre­dictabil­i­ty Depend on Load

    Out now in EJN: Tro­by Lui, Jonas Obleser, & Malte Wöst­mann show that the lis­ten­ing brain extracts sub­tle sta­tis­ti­cal reg­u­lar­i­ties from a sequence of irrel­e­vant speech items. Pre­dic­tion of dis­trac­tors is not ful­ly auto­mat­ic but depends on the avail­abil­i­ty of per­cep­tu­al and cog­ni­tive resources. We believe that these find­ings help under­stand poten­tial ben­e­fits of pre­dictable… [READ MORE]
