Vocal Emotion Perception and Musicality—Insights from EEG Decoding
aus: Sensors
Musicians have an advantage in recognizing vocal emotions compared to non-musicians, a performance advantage often attributed to enhanced early auditory sensitivity to pitch. Yet a previous ERP study only detected group differences from 500 ms onward, suggesting that conventional ERP analyses might not…

Large-scale analysis of fact-checked stories on Twitter reveals graded effects of ambiguity and falsehood on information…
aus: PNAS nexus
Misinformation disrupts our information ecosystem, adversely affecting individuals and straining social cohesion and democracy. Understanding what causes online (mis)information to (re)appear is crucial for fortifying our information ecosystem. We analyzed a large-scale Twitter (now "X") dataset of about…

Temporal dynamics of online misinformation : adaptive detection, reappearance, and emotional evolution
Falschinformationen bedrohen unser Informationsökosystem, da sie Verhalten, Vertrauen und gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt beeinträchtigen können, etwa bei gesundheitlichen Entscheidungen wie Impfungen. Soziale Netzwerke wie Twitter (X) verstärken ihre Verbreitung durch schnelle Diffusion, die Dominanz…
Voice of a woman: influence of interaction partner characteristics on cycle dependent vocal changes in women
Introduction Research has shown that women’s vocal characteristics change during the menstrual cycle. Further, evidence suggests that individuals alter their voices depending on the context, such as when speaking to a highly attractive person, or a person with a different social status. The present study…

Investigating the neural effects of typicality and predictability for face and object stimuli
The brain calibrates itself based on the past stimulus diet, which makes frequently observed stimuli appear as typical (as opposed to uncommon stimuli, which appear as distinctive). Based on predictive processing theory, the brain should be more "prepared" for typical exemplars, because these contain…

Musicality – Tuned to the melody of vocal emotions
Musicians outperform non‐musicians in vocal emotion perception, likely because of increased sensitivity to acoustic cues, such as fundamental frequency (F0) and timbre. Yet, how musicians make use of these acoustic cues to perceive emotions, and how they might differ from non‐musicians, is unclear. To…

A systematic investigation of mental representations of faces : face-space organization and its relation to individual face…
The main aim of the present thesis is examining the contribution of face-space properties to individual differences in face identity processing. I consider the neural and behavioural differences between typical and distinctive faces as proxies to study face-space properties. In the first two experiments,…
Electrophysiological Correlates of Vocal Emotional Processing in Musicians and Non-Musicians
aus: Brain Sciences
Musicians outperform non-musicians in vocal emotion recognition, but the underlying mechanisms are still debated. Behavioral measures highlight the importance of auditory sensitivity towards emotional voice cues. However, it remains unclear whether and how this group difference is reflected at the brain…

The Jena Audiovisual Stimuli of Morphed Emotional Pseudospeech (JAVMEPS): A database for emotional auditory-only, visual-only,…
We describe JAVMEPS, an audiovisual (AV) database for emotional voice and dynamic face stimuli, with voices varying in emotional intensity. JAVMEPS includes 2256 stimulus files comprising (A) recordings of 12 speakers, speaking four bisyllabic pseudowords with six naturalistic induced basic emotions…

“An Aid with Soul”—Understanding the Determinants of Guide Dog-Owner Compatibility from Qualitative Interviews
aus: Animals
Simple Summary Guide dogs can help visually impaired persons to feel more confident and independent. Twenty-one guide dog owners reported the following factors to be important for a good match between a dog and an owner: sharing hobbies, similar activity levels or higher activeness in dogs, similar expressions…

Objective assessment of the Tinnitus frequency and its perceptive and neurophysiological correlates
Chronic tinnitus is a global burden due to its high prevalence and socioeconomic costs. The situation is compounded by tinnitus’ unknown neural mechanism and heterogeneous clinical phenotype. To meet the current challenges, we investigated the objective assessment of the tinnitus frequency (TF) by determining…
Perception of emotional expression in cochlear implant users
Speech comprehension counts as a benchmark outcome of cochlear implants (CIs), but this disregards the communicative importance of non-verbal social-communicative vocal signals. Accordingly, CI users’ ability to recognize vocal emotions remains strikingly understudied, even though this ability is essential,…
Socio‐cognitive, expertise‐based and appearance‐based accounts of the other‐‘race’ effect in face perception: A label‐based…
Two competing theories explain the other‐‘race’ effect (ORE) either by greater perceptual expertise to same‐‘race’ (SR) faces or by social categorization of other‐‘race’ (OR) faces at the expense of individuation. To assess expertise and categorization contributions to the ORE, a promising—yet overlooked—approach…

Neural Correlates of Voice Learning with Distinctive and Non-Distinctive Faces
aus: Brain Sciences
Recognizing people from their voices may be facilitated by a voice’s distinctiveness, in a manner similar to that which has been reported for faces. However, little is known about the neural time-course of voice learning and the role of facial information in voice learning. Based on evidence for audiovisual…

The Jena Voice Learning and Memory Test (JVLMT): A standardized tool for assessing the ability to learn and recognize voices
Abstract The ability to recognize someone’s voice spans a broad spectrum with phonagnosia on the low end and super-recognition at the high end. Yet there is no standardized test to measure an individual’s ability of learning and recognizing newly learned voices with samples of speech-like phonetic variability.…

What makes a good dog-owner team? : A systematic review about compatibility in personality and attachment
Satisfying dog-ownership has shown to have physical and psychological advantages for humans, whereas dysfunctional ownership due to canine behavioural problems leads to growing numbers of the relinquishment of dogs. This systematic review investigates 29 studies with the aims to find out (1) What are…

Die Kernergebnisse der ersten Studie sind, dass die elastische Sprunggelenksbandage keinen Einfluss auf die Landebiomechanik, das statische und dynamische Gleichgewicht und die Bewegungsamplitude der Sprunggelenksdorsalextension bei Personen mit chronischer Sprunggelenksinstabilität und gesunden Proband*innen…
Vocal emotions on the brain : the role of acoustic parameters and musicality
The human voice is a powerful transmitter of emotions. This dissertation addresses three main gaps in the field of vocal emotion perception. The first is the quantification of the relative contribution of fundamental frequency (F0) and timbre cues to the perception of different emotions and their associated…
