Source localization of deviance detection and regularity encoding in the auditory brain, this is the title of the PhD thesis leading to the International PhD Diploma by the University of Barcelona that Marc Recasens will be defending next Wednesday November 19th, 2014, at 11:00am. The defense will take place at Room 14, Faculty of Medicine, Campus Casanova.
The thesis used Magnetoencephalography (MEG) to identify the cerebral networks involved in early regularity encoding and deviance detection in the auditory system, and it is submitted as a compendium of three papers:

Congratulations, Marc!
