1/ Does parieto-occipital alpha lateralization play a functional role in auditory attention? In our new neurofeedback study, led by @felixstockar.bsky.social together with @neuromeditate.bsky.social , we investigated exactly this. 🧠🧵

Volitional control of parieto-occipital alpha lateralization via neurofeedback does not influence auditory spatial attention https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04.22.720048v1

How does the brain track rhythms—and can we hack it? In our new study, just published @plosbiology.org, we dive deeper into neural entrainment—how the brain synchronizes to rhythms in our environment—and explore whether transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can modulate this process.

Sensory stimuli dominate over rhythmic electrical stimulation in modulating behavior

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) modulates entrainment to rhythmic auditory stimuli, but the details of this interaction are not clear. This study shows that the effects of tACS dep...

🧠 In our new article, Martin Meyer & I argue that the lateralization of spoken language is enhanced by top-down processes—such as predictive coding and dimension-selective auditory attention—which engage left-lateralized sensorimotor networks. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Dear cognitive neuroscientists of speech and language, do you know a recent book chaptre in English or German that you would recommend that includes the very basics about the state-of-the-art in our field as basis literature for a 2h lecture for bachelor students in psychology?
