Sept 2023      Chi, Hugo and Alexandra's paper accepted in Current Research in Neurobiology. Inferior colliculus plasticity upon unsupervised exposure                         to predictable context-sound associations leads to sharper spectral representation.

June 2023      Our KITP program on statistical learning begins in the beautiful UCSB campus!

 

May 2023       Chi's behavioural study is published in iScience

May 2023       Irene Onorato joins the lab as postdoc to work in cortico-subcortical loops, as part of the Einstein Foundation grant with David McAlpine

April 2023      Ahmed Alramly joins the lab as a BCCN intern

 

Nov 2022       Xing Xiao joins the lab as postdoc to work in cortico-hippocampal interactions during memory consolidation, as part of the SFB1315

 

Oct 2022        Two new preprints uploaded. From very different perspectives, both find evidence for long lasting effects of neutral exposure to predictable                          sounds in auditory responses with consequences on subsequent learning.

Sept 2022       Poppy Barsby and Alexandra Ertman submit their master theses after a very engaged period in which they worked very hard and                                      produced beautiful work. Congratulations!

June 2022       Berlin LOOPs conference!!! finally   https://www.brainloops.de/loops-berlin-conference

April 2022.       Malinda Tantirigama joins the lab as Einstein post-doc to work together with David McAlpine (Macquarie U, Sidney) on a very exciting                              project. We are very much looking forward to see where he takes this new challenge given his breath of knowledge and wide repetoire of                          tools.

                       

April 2022        Poppy Barsby and Alexandra Ertman join the lab as master students. But they are familiar faces here since they have been around for a                             while doing wonderful work!

 

March 2022.    Our DFG Priority Programme "LOOPS: cortico-subcortical interactions for adaptive cognition" has been granted.

                         More on the coming public call soon!
