Excited to host Dr. Ryszard Auksztulewicz (Maastricht University) on April 27, 15:00 @ UKE/ISN! He’ll talk about perception, prediction & learning. Join us for the talk and discussion.

The Obleser lab will be hiring soon! New postdoc (fully funded) and new PhD or part-time postdoc position (soft-money funded). Spread the word. Start in Sept/Oct. Watch out for official announcements! Please be in touch. auditorycognition.com obleserlab.com hoerhanse.de lemmi.uni-luebeck.de

1/9 New preprint by Laurin Mordhorst: 3D histology validates 2D histology for axon radius distributions and conduction velocities. We asked: if individual axons vary along their length, can classic 2D histology still reflect white-matter organization? Link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How similar are two activity patterns? We all know that low correlations don't mean that they are necessarily dissimilar – our measurements could be noisy. So how do you correct for this? Our slightly nerdy, but hopefully useful preprint takes a deep dive: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Looking for a #PhD or #postdoc position on predictive processing? 🧠 Please, get in touch if you are the perfect fit to join my lab at @ruhr-uni-bochum.de

How do people search for information to make efficient decisions? Our new theory, now out in Psychological Review, suggests that an efficient search rule is (at the core of) the answer. And eye-tracking data support our theory. Check out here (it's open access): psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

🚨New preprint alert🚨 Does hunger affect your decisions beyond food? We tested whether being hungry affects attention & choice across food, intertemporal and social domains. Spoiler: the effects of hunger state on attention and choice are more limited than you might think🧵👇

New paper from our lab 👶🧠: We know quite a bit about how a mother’s odor can influence social processes in infancy, but what about dad?👨‍🍼(1/2)

Expectation Consecutively boosts Neural Processing of Expected and Unexpected Visual Information https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.23.713176v1

Our latest results on bioRxiv! Our EEG study shows that human brain activity consecutively supports both Bayesian integration and prediction‑error signalling. Plot twist: prediction‑error signalling appears to be consistent with the Reverse Hierarchy Theory! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
