Overview

Martin Meyer is affiliated with the University of Zurich in Switzerland and has contributed extensively to the fields of neuroscience and psychology. Their research spans multiple subfields, including cognitive neuroscience, experimental and cognitive psychology, developmental and educational psychology, sensory systems, and neurology.

The primary focus of Meyer's work involves key topics such as hearing loss and rehabilitation, neurobiology of language and bilingualism, hearing, cochlea, tinnitus, genetics, neuroscience and music perception, vestibular and auditory disorders, multisensory perception and integration, and language development and disorders.

The scientist has published in various notable venues, with frequent appearances in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), the Journal of Neurolinguistics, Progress in Brain Research, Frontiers in Neuroscience, and Brain and Language.

Recent peer-reviewed publications by Martin Meyer include:

  • "Better speech-in-noise comprehension is associated with enhanced neural speech tracking in older adults with hearing impairment" (2022, Cortex)
  • "Neural signatures of syntactic variation in speech planning" (2021, PLoS Biology)
  • "Lower glutamate and GABA levels in auditory cortex of tinnitus patients: a 2D-JPRESS MR spectroscopy study" (2022, Scientific Reports)
  • "On the relationship between tinnitus distress, cognitive performance and aging" (2021, Progress in Brain Research)
  • "Working memory and not acoustic sensitivity is related to stress processing ability in a foreign language: An ERP study" (2020, Journal of Neurolinguistics)

Collaboration has been a notable aspect of Meyer's scientific contributions, with frequent co-authors including Nathalie Giroud, Tobias Kleinjung, Sebastian Sauppe, Patrick Neff, and Ina Bornkessel-Schlesewsky.
