The paper entitled Selective entrainment of brain oscillations drives auditory perceptual organization, co-authored by Jordi Costa-Faidella, Elyse Sussman and Carles Escera has been published online in Neuroimage. In this study, we address how humans, while facing ambiguous soundscapes perceive unitary multistable organizations. Our results show that brain oscillations concurrently entrain to the rate of all competing […]
The paper entitled Interrelation of attention and prediction in visual processing: Effects of task-relevance and stimulus probability, co-authored by A. Marzecová, A. Widmann, Iria SanMiguel and Erich Schröger, has been published online in Biological Psychology. The full abstract reads as follows: The potentially interactive influence of attention and prediction was investigated by measuring event-related potentials (ERPs) […]
The journal PLOS ONE has published online on February 21st, 2017, another paper from the Brainlab. The paper is entitled COMT and DRD/ANKK-1 gene-gene interaction account for resetting of gamma neural oscillations to auditory stimulus-driven attention, and co-authored by Manuel Garcia-Garcia. Marc Via, Katarzyna Zarnowiec, Iria SanMiguel, Carles Escera and Immaculada Clemente. Using a […]
The newests volume of the Springer Handbook of Auditory Research: The Frequency Following Response: A Window into Human Communication, edited by Nina Kraus, Samira Anderson, Travis White-Schwoch, Richard R. Fay, and Arthur N. Popper, is now available by January 2017. The book features a chapter authored by Carles Escera, entitled “The Role of the Auditory […]
The journal Scientific Reports publishes online on November 17, 2016, another paper from the Brainlab. The paper is entitled Timing predictability enhances regularity encoding in the human subcortical auditory pathway, and co-authored by Natàlia Gorina-Careta, Katarzina Zarnowiec, Jordi Costa-Faidella and Carles Escera. Using the frequency-following response (FFR) as a proxy of subcortical auditory function, in this […]
In its issue dated October 18th, 2016, The Journal of Neuroscience publishes a new paper from the Brainlab. The paper is entitled Involvement of the serotonin transporter gene in accurate subcortical speech encoding, and co-authored by Selinger, Zarnowiec, Via, Clemente, & Escera. In this paper we show that the frequency-following response (FFR), known as the biological […]
The paper entitled Sensory suppression of brain responses to self-generated sounds is observed with and without the perception of agency, by Jana Timm, Marc Schönwiesner, Erich Schröger and Iria SanMiguel has been accepted for publication in Cortex. In this collaboration between the University of Leipzig (Germany), the BRAMS (Canada) and the Brainlab, we investigated the […]
The paper entitled Early indices of deviance detection in humans and animal models, by Sabine Grimm, Carles Escera and Israel Nelken has been accepted for publication in Biological Psychology. In this collaboration between the University of Leipzig (Germany), the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel) and the Brainlab, we proposed that the human evoked potential correlates of […]
A special issue of Brain Research, entitled “Predictive and Attentive Processing in Perception and Action” and co-edited by Erich Schröger, Sonja Kotz and Iria SanMiguel, has been published on 11th November 2015. This special issue features twenty different articles authored by top-rated specialists covering the whole range of the topic (the table of contents is here).
The paper entitled Deviance-related responses along the auditory hierarchy: combined FFR, MLR and MMN evidence, by Shiga, Althen, Cornella, Zarnowiec, Yabe, & Escera, has been published in PLoS ONE. This paper is the outcome of the work carried out during Dr. Shiga’s stay in our lab in 2013-2014 for a total of one year. Essentially, […]
