Max Schulz
PhD Candidate in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience | University of Lübeck
Sailing away.
Hi, I’m Max! 👋
I am a neuroscience PhD candidate at the Auditory Cognition Lab at the University of Lübeck, supervised by Dr. Malte Wöstmann. Together with Dr. Wöstmann and Prof. Dr. Jonas Obleser, my research aims to unravel the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying how we focus our attention in complex acoustic environments.
Research Focus
Auditory Attention
Investigating the subprocesses of selective attention, with a specific focus on delineating target enhancement from distractor capture and suppression.
Methods & Tech
Using high-density EEG (Electroencephalography) and developing webcam-based eye & head tracking tools (like OCAPI) to track attention in real-time.
Recent Talks & Symposia
Symposium Organizer & Speaker — Psychologie und Gehirn (PuG)
Organized and chaired the symposium "Dynamics of Enhancement and Suppression: Integrating Neural and Behavioral Perspectives on Selective Attention" in Heidelberg, Germany.
Symposium Speaker — Tagung experimentell arbeitender Psychologen (TeaP)
Presented "Behavioral and neural signatures of extracting regularities from relevant and irrelevant sequences of sound" in Tübingen, Germany.
Invited Talk — Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour
Presented ongoing research on infant OCAPI (Objective Coding of Attention Pipeline for Infants) in Marlene Meyer's Lab in Nijmegen, Netherlands.
