new results from the lab! Judith Kunze and Dept of Anaesthesiology’s MD Justus Student provide more evidence that pushing around the E:I balance (using ketamine vs propofol) can be read off non-invasively from EEG’s spectral slope. Controlling for (counteracting) heart rate effects only helps!

We had a look at a question I am really excited about: does an individuals intrinsic brain rhythm predict speech tracking and comprehension? And how do speech motor and auditory rhythms work together? by Christina Lubinus, @annekeitel.bsky.social @jonasobleser.bsky.social @davidpoeppel.bsky.social

We have two job openings in my lab currently — for a postdoc (100% FTE some teaching four years) and a postdoc/phd student (75% FTE no teaching three years). Check them out at www.uni-luebeck.de/aktuelles/be...

together with our friends at ORCA labs, Martin Orf and our lab come out with some intricate data on how gait, speech, and neural activity relate during walking’n’talking.

.. and yes, this cross-sectional finding (N>240, age 18–80) goes against our explicitly stated, initial hypothesis that older adults should lean more towards schizotypy-like patterns and stronger priors. As Popper said, kill your darlings.

One more beachside reading from our lab — Schuckart, Tune & Obleser www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Perceptual style shifts with age, with older adults tending toward more sensory-driven, ASD-like profiles—shaping how people respond to predictability and volatility in language and perception.

Your point is well taken. I agree that TI and AVH (in Sz) differ widely, but treating them as expressions of altered ‘metacognitive alignment’ (not a word I am using in the model) on a potential continuum is worth testing, in my view.

okay, everybody’s bored by ChatGPT by now, but: still breathtaking how (i) elaborate and erudite it refuses to help me cheat my way through a simple t-test (I tried to make it cheat for me, but it spoke of its high ethical standards. Very well), AND (ii) absolutely messes up the t-statistic itself.
