If a self-driving car behaves differently in a classic dilemma situation than test subjects would, this discrepancy becomes visible in brain activity. Researchers from the Department of Psychology have now been able to demonstrate this.

Dr Daniel Kristanto wants to know what goes on in the human brain – not brains in general, but each individual brain. The University is now funding his "Individual Brain Project" for up to three years with a Carl von Ossietzky Young Researchers' Fellowship.

A new study by researchers from University Oldenburg and University College London (Great Britain) shows that specific receptors in the ears of mosquitoes modulate their hearing, which has implications for developing insecticides.

Kai Siedenburg investigates how people with hearing problems can experience the joy of music again. Martin Bleichner is more interested in disturbing noises in everyday life. The two researchers nonetheless want to work together.

In the complex search for the cause of age-related hearing loss, researchers at the University of Oldenburg have discovered a promising approach. They have deciphered how certain sounds are transmitted from the ear to the brain.

How does the brain decide which sensory input is relevant and which is not? A study conducted by Oldenburg hearing reseachers shows that the rules that apply for humans are not the same for all living beings.
