NELI Journal Club
In our biweekly journal club, we discuss research on mobile/ear-EEG, auditory perception, noise annoyance and beyond. We also like to discuss recent preprints and provide direct feedback to the authors based on our discussions. We are always happy for suggestions and encourage authors to point us to their work. Please send your suggestions to Thorge Haupt.
