The streams of sounds we typically attend to abound in acoustic regularities. Neural entrainment
is seen as an important mechanism that the listening brain exploits to attune to these …

… such as the superior parietal cortex (group data; Obleser and Weisz, in preparation) – can be
… when using machine learning algorithms (Obleser and Weisz, in preparation). Also, alpha …

Speech perception requires the decoding of complex acoustic patterns. According to most
cognitive models of spoken word recognition, this complexity is dealt with before lexical …

… In a previous behavioral experiment, we demonstrated that a contextual manipulation
was most effective at an intermediate level of quality of speech signal (J. Obleser, L. Alba-Ferrara, …

The human ability to continuously track dynamic environmental stimuli, in particular speech,
is proposed to profit from “entrainment” of endogenous neural oscillations, which involves …

When listening to speech under adverse conditions, expectancies resulting from semantic
context can have a strong impact on comprehension. Here we ask how minimal variations in …

In speech comprehension, the processing of auditory information and linguistic context are
mutually dependent. This functional magnetic resonance imaging study examines how …

Our sensory environment is teeming with complex rhythmic structure, to which neural
oscillations can become synchronized. Neural synchronization to environmental rhythms (…

… Antje Strauß, Malte Wöstmann, and Jonas Obleser are supported by a Max Planck Research
Grant to Jonas Obleser. The authors are grateful for in-depth discussions with the members …

Speech processing in auditory cortex and beyond is a remarkable yet poorly understood
faculty of the listening brain. Here we show that stop consonants, as the most transient …
