Running online experiments with auditory stimuli? Want to confirm that participants are wearing headphones? We present a new headphone screening test available with JS and via @GorillaPsyc Super effort by @aemilne @RobertaBianco0 @alexjbillig @sijiazhao92 @KatarinaPoole
Conducting online auditory experiments? A new test based on dichotic pitch can help you screen out participants who probably aren't using headphones. With @aemilne @RobertaBianco0 @sijiazhao92 @KatarinaPoole @mariachait Preprint:

Really cool new insight on auditory WM!
Excited to share our new collaborative MEG/EEG work with Nai Ding on working memory hierarchy! We show reorganization of 1-D complex sequence into 2D neural geometry in WM. Congrats to @YingFanLaLaLa ! https://t.co/UCqZvLMkio

Come work with us on this exciting new PhD project.
We are offering a full-time, 3-year PhD #studentship in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience. You will use behavioural measures, eye tracking & EEG brain imaging to develop new methods for assessing listening effort & selective auditory attention. Apply ➡️ https://t.co/O2rpd0mJ4P

Really proud of this work from Claudia Contadini-Wright. We establish Microsaccades as an informative measure, complementary to pupillometry, for understanding the temporal dynamics of auditory attentional processing during effortful listening. https://t.co/eRJ96EMKTN

How is implicit memory for arbitrary sound patterns affected by aging? Check out this new work from the awesome @RobertaBianco0
For how long can older adults retain memories of sound patterns? Read our new preprint "Healthy ageing effects on implicit auditory memory: from encoding to 6-month retention" to find out! E.Hall, M.Pearce & @mariachait. Link: https://t.co/sOgaKqjSJh

@TfL @metpoliceuk @EmilyThornberry @jeremycorbyn At 15:47 on 30/01/23 a schoolboy was mugged at knife point on the escalators at H&I tube, but there’s no cameras of the incident. Is this acceptable? Surely someone could check who was loitering at the time and work it out?

Really excited for this project!
It was great to be able to help out the @mariachait lab from the UCL Ear Institute today at the Translation & Innovation Hub (I-HUB). @AXDImperial @ImperialDyson

אני הכלבן שעל שמו קרוי זילי, מוזמנים לקרוא מה אני מרגיש: הרבה מכירים אותי (וגם את כל האחים שלי) כזילי. כן כן, כמו השם של הכלב שנהרג הבוקר בשכם. כמות ההתייחסויות אליו בתקשורת (מראש הממשלה ועד אחרון חברי הכנסת) ככמות ההודעות שקיבלתי על ההשתתפות בצערי. 1/10 >>

Fab time at #tex2022 - stimulating discussions; catching up with friends; making new ones. Thanks all, esp @YamilVidal_arg & @CrepaldiDavide for arranging such a thought-provoking meeting. And taking us on v memorable adventures up dirt tracks to eat boiled eggs & drink wine!
Registration is now open for #tex2022! After our on-line meeting last year, this summer we want to welcome you in person in Trieste. Morning lectures by the invited speakers and afternoon talks by attendees. Plus plenty of time for discussion. More at https://t.co/nj5bUd0pAB

New pre-print alert: Does Speech-in-Noise perception correlate with listeners' ability to maintain auditory information in memory? (Spoiler - No!)
New preprint in duo🧑🎤👩🎤with @mariachait !! No link between Speech-in-noise perception and Auditory short-term memory – evidence from a large cohort of older and younger listeners https://t.co/mUgoWVjhq1 via @OSFramework (see thread below)
