New preprint available (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…)! After showing visual speech benefits in mid- to old-aged individuals for neural speech tracking, we show that the ability to track visual speech is not necessarily better in individuals with degraded hearing, but is independent.

Registration and Abstract Submission for #samba2024 is finally open! samba.ccns.sbg.ac.at

Exciting news! After much hard work, we've finally pushed this manuscript across the finish line. 🎉 Stay tuned for it to appear in Nature Communications! Big congrats to Quirin Gehmacher and friends. Grateful for support from FWF and FFG - Österr. Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft. Department of Psychology, Univ. Salzburg @PLUS_1622

Deadline for PhD position approaching fast 👇

So, who can you meet and listen to at this year's #samba2024? Glad you asked!

Check out our new preprint! 🧐doi.org/10.31234/osf.i… In a one-of-a-kind manuscript we successfully replicated aberrant auditory prediction patterns in tinnitus using two independent MEG studies. A thread (1/11)

new paper out with Kaja Benz Thomas Hartmann Gianpaolo Demarchi and Nathan Weisz from Salzburg Brain Dynamics Lab @PLUS_1622 Carrier-frequency specific omission-related neural activity in ordered sound sequences is independent of omission-predictability doi.org/10.1111/ejn.16…

Hear about "Learning and Plasticity in the Auditory System" from the one and only Josef Rauschecker! Where end when? Of course at #SAMBA2024! Have not signed up yet? Then head over to our website now: samba.ccns.sbg.ac.at/samba-2024/reg…

#SAMBA2024 is getting closer. What? You have not registered yet? Ok, you get one extra week to sign up and submit your abstract. Deal?

My latest research is now fully published at Hearing Research! 🎉 doi.org/10.1016/j.hear… Check out how we replicated ageing as a risk factor for tinnitus - and how we concluded that the relevant ageing processes in tinnitus are different from neural mechanisms in dementia.

New paper out! Congrats Martina Berto ! 🎉 Human hemispheric specializations for auditory computations at high (local) and low (summary statistics) temporal resolutions. Great collaboration with our friend Nathan Weisz. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
