Sebastian has joined our lab as postdoc in November 2020. Coming from the lab of Mathew Diamond with a deep knowledge of history-dependent perceptual judgment and context dependent perception of time in…

The Swiss National Science Foundation decided to fund our project on “Functional maturation of the central auditory system”. We are very excited to be able to follow this line of research in…

Mari’s manuscript – Sequential organization of critical periods in the mouse auditory system – is online today at Cell Reports. Critical periods in the auditory system are feature dependent and asynchronous. Using…

So happy to see Gioia’s project out in bioRxiv:  “Task-engagement modulation along the auditory pathway”. The manuscript reports the effect of attention, arousal, reward and movement in 4 different nuclei along the…

Magdalena and Elisabetta have both been selected in the interactive track of the Neuromatch Academy 2020, a “worldwide academy to train neuroscientists to learn computational tools, make connections to real world neuroscience…

Suyahs Joshi has joined our lab in May 2020 as a postdoc. With his expertise in modelling and audiology, Suyash will add a new perspective to our research questions. We are all…

Catherine Perrodin, a Sir Henry Wellcome postdoc at the Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience at the University College London, is visiting our lab for some months. Welcome Catherine, great to have you in…

Congratulations to our postdoc Florian Studer who just got awarded a MSCA fellowship! We are very much looking forward to exploring auditory learning in more details.

Charlotte’s manuscript “Ramped pulse shape are more efficient for cochlear implant stimulation in an animal model”, showing how changing the pulse shape for the stimulation of mouse cochlear implants can be beneficial,…

Patricia got accepted to participate in the PSL Qlife Winter School on Neural Networks 2020, taking place in the Ecole Normale Superieure of Paris, February 3-7 2020.  She will learn a lot…

We started the year with a lab retreat in Tanay (VS, Switzerland) on January 6 and 7 2020. In addition to discussing the next big questions in (auditory) neuroscience, we also talked…

Rasmus’s paper “White noise background improves tone discrimination by suppressing cortical tuning curves” has been accepted for publication at Cell Reports, and Stiti’s paper “A late critical period for frequency modulated sweeps…

Florian joined us as a postdoctoral fellow in September 2019. Adding to his expertise in electrophysiology and rabies virus tracing acquired during his PhD in the lab of Antoine Depaulis, Florian will…
