JUST OUT #Openaccess in European Journal of Neuroscience Dynamics underlying auditory‐object‐boundary detection in primary auditory cortex From Newcastle University Newcastle University and Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging @WCHN_UCL Tobias Overath onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ej…

📑New paper out today with Pradeep Auditory Cognition Group Tobias Overath Sukhbinder Kumar ! We looked at MEG responses to changes in spectrotemporal coherence in sounds. Check it out here (open access🔓): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ej…

A postdoc position is available at University of Iowa to take forward our work on misophonia. Someone with experience in fMRI data analysis would best fit the job. For more details, please see: jobs.uiowa.edu/postdoc/view/3… Feel free to get in touch if you have any further query.
