Dr. Christine Köppl
Dept. of Neuroscience, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Germany
Dr. Köppl has a background in zoology and neuroscience. Her long-standing broad interest is the evolution of the auditory system, with comparative work on mammals, birds and reptiles, from the cochlea to the midbrain. She has published 115 peer-reviewed papers, including 31 reviews.
Christine received her Biology diploma (equivalent to a Master) in 1985, from the Technical University of Munich. She did her PhD work at the same university, with Geoff Manley, on inner-ear anatomy and physiology of lizards. She remained based at the TU Munich, interrupted by multiple research phases in Australia, working on lizards, and in the USA, working on barn owl sound localization. After a prestigious Heisenberg fellowship by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (the major granting body in Germany), Christine moved to a faculty position at the Dept. of Physiology, University of Sydney, Australia, in 2006. In 2009, she returned to Germany, as full professor at the Carl-von-Ossietzky Universität in Oldenburg. There, she was part of the large Cluster of Excellence “Hearing4all” and her research under this umbrella focused on age-related hearing loss and cochlear ageing, using the Mongolian gerbil as the predominant animal model. Most recently, she added novel data from ageing birds that, in contrast to mammals, are able to regenerate sensory hair cells. Now retired, Christine is still working to wrap up and publish her latest projects.

Call for papers | ICMPC 18
'Echos and ecologies: New Landscapes for Music Perception and Cognition'
21-25 July 2025 | São Paulo | Hybrid
We are pleased to invite submissions for the 18th International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition jointly organized with the 17th International Conference of the Brazilian Association of Cognition and Musical Arts to be held 21-25 July 2025, in São Paulo.
The conference invites papers focused on the systematic exploration of musical behavior and cognition. Under the theme "Echoes and Ecologies: New Landscapes for Music Perception and Cognition," the event seeks to examine the intricate interactions between auditory experiences and the varied environments in which they occur. It promotes interdisciplinary research, encouraging participants to investigate how progress in psychology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and related fields is reshaping our comprehension of music perception and cognition within an evolving technological and transcultural context. While this theme serves as a guiding concept, submissions are not required to adhere strictly to it. Researchers in all areas of music cognition are encouraged to pursue their interests within this broad and dynamic field.
The ICMPC 18 will be held in a hybrid format (participation will be possible either in-person or through virtual attendance), with most activities live-streamed and accessible remotely.
Important dates:
31 January 2025 | Deadline for abstract submissions – now extended
March 2025 | Review outcomes
