New paper in press: Herrmann, Henry, Grigutsch & Obleser, The Journal of Neuroscience [Update]
Oscillatory Phase Dynamics in Neural Entrainment Underpin Illusory Percepts of Time Natural sounds like speech and music inherently vary in tempo over time. Yet, contextual factors such as variations in the sound’s loudness or pitch influence perception of temporal rate change towards slowing down or speeding up. A new MEG study by Björn Herrmann, Molly Henry, Maren […]

New paper has been published in Cerebral Cortex by Henry, Herrmann, & Obleser
When we listen to sounds like speech and music, we have to make sense of different acoustic features that vary simultaneously along multiple time scales. This means that we, as listeners, have to selectively attend to, but at the same time selectively ignore, separate but intertwined features of a stimulus. A newly published fMRI study […]

New paper in press: Herrmann et al., Hearing Research [Update]
Auditory filter width affects response magnitude but not frequency specificity in auditory cortex This is fantastic news on a friday morning: Obleser lab Postdoc Björn Herrmann teamed up with his fellow Postdocs Mathias Scharinger and Molly Henry to study how spectral analysis in the auditory periphery (termed frequency selectivity) relates to processing in auditory cortex […]

New paper out: Herrmann, Henry, and Obleser in Journal of Neurophysiology
In this study (available online) Frequency-specific adaptation in human auditory cortex depends on the spectral variance in the acoustic stimulation we show that adaptation of neural responses in human auditory cortex to acoustic stimulation is not fixed. Instead, the degree of co-adaptation in these tonotopically organized brain regions varies (widens/tightens) with the spectral properties of […]

New paper out: Henry & Herrmann, Journal of Neuroscience
Proud to announce that our postdocs Molly Henry and Björn Herrmann just came out with a review/op piece in the Journal of Neuroscience “journal club” section, where only grad students or postdocs are allowed to author short review pieces. A Precluding Role of Low-Frequency Oscillations for Auditory Perception in a Continuous Processing Mode The Journal of […]

New paper out: “Don’t be enslaved by the envelope” – Comment on Giraud & Poeppel (2012)
Today appears a comment / opinion article, with a tad bit of fresh evidence from our lab, that is mainly a reply to Anne-Lise Giraud and David Poeppel’s recent “perspective” article on Neural oscillations in speech. We loved that article, obviously, but after the initial excitement, a few concerns stuck with us. In essence, the […]
