Antje Strauß

Dr. Antje Strauß is a Researcher at the Department of Linguistics, University of Konstanz, where she serves as Principal Investigator for a DFG-funded project on theta oscillations and prelexical abstraction since October 2018. Her work bridges speech processing, auditory cognition, and neural oscillations, with a focus on lexical and sublexical mechanisms in noisy environments.

• PhD in Neural Oscillatory Dynamics of Spoken Word Recognition (2011–2014, Max Planck Institute)
• Magistra Artium in German Philology and Philosophy (2004–2010, Albert Ludwig University)

Her research explores how brain rhythms like alpha and theta oscillations support auditory selective inhibition, speech segmentation, and predictive processing. She has pioneered studies on cued speech applications for enhancing speech-in-noise perception and developed the Fharvard corpus—a phonemically-balanced resource for audiology research.

Recent publications highlight her expertise in neural oscillations, auditory perception, and speech-in-noise intelligibility. Collaborative work spans institutions like CNRS, MPI CBS, and Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies.

• Post-doctoral fellow at Zukunftskolleg, University of Konstanz (2016–2018)
• Post-doctoral fellow at CNRS, GIPSA-lab (2015–2016)

She contributes to peer review for journals including Journal of Neuroscience, Cortex, and PLOS Biology, and maintains memberships in the Society for the Neurobiology of Language, European Society for Cognitive Psychology, and related organizations.
