Further posters at SFN / Neuroscience 2011
In addition to the exciting consonantal mismatch negativity work Mathias and Alexandra will be showing (TUESDAY AM session, posters UU10 and UU11), we will have the following posters this year. Come by! Chris Petkov and I are showing our brand new data in the TUESDAY PM session, poster LL14. I myself will be presenting in the […]

Poster Presentations at SFN
There will be two poster presentations at SFN in Washington, DC., on the topic of auditory predictions in speech perception. The first poster, authored by Alexandra Bendixen, Mathias Scharinger, and Jonas Obleser, summarizes as follows: Speech signals are often compromised by disruptions originating from external (e.g., masking noise) or internal (e.g., sluggish articulation) sources. Speech […]

New paper out: Alpha oscillations in audition
I am also delighted to report the fruits of a very recent collaboration with Nathan Weisz and his OBOB lab at the University of Konstanz, Germany. Alpha Rhythms in Audition: Cognitive and Clinical Perspectives In this review paper, which appears in the new, exciting “Frontiers in Psychology” journal, we sum the recent evidence that alpha […]

New paper out: “Upstream delegation” for processing of complex syntax under degraded acoustics
A new paper is about to appear in Neuroimage on the interaction of syntactic complexity and acoustic degradation. It is written by myself, PhD student Lars Meyer, and Angela Friederici. In a way, the paper brings together one of Angela’s main research questions (which brain circuits mediate the processing of syntax?) with a long-standing interest […]

New paper out: Are early N100 and the late Gamma-band response negatively correlated in comprehension of degraded speech?
Late 2010 was particularly good to us: Multiple brain signatures of integration in the comprehension of degraded speech by Jonas Obleser and Sonja Kotz, in NeuroImage. The final pdf will hopefully be available online very soon. Meanwhile the figure below captures our main results: References Obleser J, Kotz SA. Multiple brain signatures of integration in the […]

New paper out: Patterns of vowel and consonant sensitivity
Dear followers of the slowly emerging Obleser lab, I am glad to present to you a new paper that was published last week: “Segregation of vowels and consonants in human auditory cortex: Evidence for distributed hierarchical organization” by Jonas Obleser, Amber Leaver, John VanMeter, and Josef P. Rauschecker, in Frontiers in Psychology. It was submitted to […]

Visit us at CNS
UPDATE — The Volcano ash that Island is kindly supplying might prevent us from getting to Montréal. Let’s see whether we make it until the poster session starts on Sunday. But I am slightly pessimistic on that. I am currently quite busy with finishing off loads of old data and preparing new adventures in auditory […]
