A thorough exploration of the literature examining the effects of DBS on speech, voice and language. Great work led by Ella & Karim Johari

It's an honour to work with this team. New research looking at the intracranial effects of masking the TMS auditory stimulus, out now in Brain Stimulation...

Come and work with us!

So proud of my brilliant husband Ueli Rutishauser on a new paper in nature (!!) today, 'Control of working memory by phase–amplitude coupling of human hippocampal neurons,' fresh off the press!!! Congratulations Ueli and team!!! nature.com/articles/s4158…

A great opportunity to work as part of an excellent team, led by the wonderful Yuki Kikuchi

You are a researcher from outside Austria and younger than 45 years? Consider the Salzburg Scientist-in-Residence opportunity, to spend 1 month with the Auditory Neuroscience group Salzburg Brain Dynamics Lab. Calls open for 2025.

Our study examining intracranial responses to vocoded speech, relevant to cochlear implants, is out now (frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…), led by Kirill Nourski & Mitch Steinschneider (University of Iowa Neurosurgery). Some very interesting dorsal/ventral stream differences dependent on task performance.

Interested in how a CI in Single-Sided-Deafness improves speech perception performance? As it appears, mostly by “normalizing“ processing of input from the non-deaf ear.

Fantastic PhD opportunities to work with us

Interested in the role of the amygdala and cingulate in affect and decisions? Visit us tomorrow afternoon Society for Neuroscience (SfN) with Hiroyuki Oya, Joel I Berger and others!

Putting together your schedule for SFN 2023? Stop by my poster with Lukas Kunz to learn about grid-like spiking codes for abstract emotion space in the human brain!

*Monday, 11/13, 8:00-12:00*

Society for Neuroscience (SfN)

I'll be presenting the poster below at APAN this afternoon and Society for Neuroscience (SfN) on Tuesday, based on the LFP and unit data we collect at University of Iowa Neurosurgery. Come and say hi! Thank you to my lovely colleagues (inc. Auditory Cognition Group & UCL Ear Institute) and patients. #neuroscience

New intracranial work published today in Nature Communications!

We conducted whole-brain ECoG mapping during sentence reading, combining high spatiotemporal resolution recordings from depth & grid electrodes across a large cohort (58 patients, over 6 years) 🧠

A very impressive series, with a lot of relevant and really clear information for anyone interested in single unit activity or spike sorting approaches in general, as well as specifically learning about neuropixels.
