Whoot. New preprint.

.. and yes, this cross-sectional finding (N>240, age 18–80) goes against our explicitly stated, initial hypothesis that older adults should lean more towards schizotypy-like patterns and stronger priors. As Popper said, kill your darlings.

One more beachside reading from our lab — Schuckart, Tune & Obleser
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Perceptual style shifts with age, with older adults tending toward more sensory-driven, ASD-like profiles—shaping how people respond to predictability and volatility in language and perception.

Yesss.

New data from our lab — Sarah Tune, Iris Borschke, and I come out with modelling the neural fate and the behavioural impact of single clicks in auditory decision making. Beautiful work by
@sarahtune.bsky.social — foreshadowing what is going on in the lab currently.

OMFG

We did find out that your hearing aid comes with a certain cognitive cost a priori any of the (certainly greater) benefit you will draw from it. — The pupil is a lovely, sensitive measure. Congrats to first author Markus Kemper. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

@sarahjessen.bsky.social of the Babylab @uniluebeck.bsky.social took Martin Orf and me from the @jonasobleser.bsky.social lab along an intriguing journey into the neural fate and consequences of a mother‘s voice in her infant’s brain. Under review now. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Your point is well taken. I agree that TI and AVH (in Sz) differ widely, but treating them as expressions of altered ‘metacognitive alignment’ (not a word I am using in the model) on a potential continuum is worth testing, in my view.

Metacognition in the listening brain How do you know you have heard right? Metacognition, the ability to assess and monitor one’s own cognitive state, is key to understanding human communication in complex environments. However, the foun...

I hope you enjoy some of the ideas I put forward in “Metacognition in the listening brain”: Trends in Neurosciences www.cell.com/trends/neuro... — out now.

Many cheers for your trust, everybody. I look forward to serving on the @dfg_public DFG (German Research Foundation) Fachgutachter:innen / reviewing panel in systems and cogn neuroscience for the next years. www.dfg.de/download/pdf...

I don’t sign open letters lightly. This one is relatively simple: German scientists must have issues with antisemitism and must name it when they see it. #NieWiederIstJetzt #istandwithmyisraelicolleagues www.athene-center.de/nie-wieder

If you think I might be useful in serving as a panelist (“fachgutachter”) to the
DFG in the next years, I would be honoured if your cast your vote for Jonas Obleser,

okay, everybody’s bored by ChatGPT by now, but: still breathtaking how
(i) elaborate and erudite it refuses to help me cheat my way through a simple t-test (I tried to make it cheat for me, but it spoke of its high ethical standards. Very well),
AND
(ii) absolutely messes up the t-statistic itself.
