Happy to share my very first first-author paper! In this study, we show that rhythms can shape how our brains track speech (in very simple words). Work with Marina Kalashnikova, @nicolaml.bsky.social and Mikel Lizarazu.

Temporal Structure of Music Improves the Cortical Encoding of Speech
This study demonstrates that regular musical rhythms can act as a temporal guide for brain oscillations, enhancing synchronization with the speech envelope. This effect was observed across different ...

@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...
