Experimento de memoria secuencial con registro de EEG y EyeTracking ¡Necesitamos participantes para un experimento! Nuestro objetivo es estudiar la memoria secuencial para estímulos auditivos bajo ciertas condiciones. Te pediremos que realices una tarea de memoria auditiva muy sencilla frente a una pantalla mientras registramos la dilatación de tu pupila con un EyeTracker y tu […]
Women in Neuroscience Virtual Symposium
Neuroscience is a girl’s thing, but not a woman’s (yet) There is a tendency to think that the gap between the number of men and women in science is already closing; however, the statistics provide us with data that indicate the opposite. In fact, nowadays, discrimination and bias against women scientists is more subtle […]

Experimento sobre asociación genética en la codificación cerebral del sonido Probablemente te has dado cuenta de que algunas personas tienen más facilidades que otras para aprender y reproducir nuevos idiomas, o que algunos tienen mejor “oído musical” que otros. Estas diferencias entre personas se pueden deber a muchos factores, entre ellos, los factores genéticos. Esto […]
A figure from our paper selected for the cover of the Hearing Research special issue on predictive coding
Figure 6 of our paper by Font-Alaminos and colleagues (see our former post here) was selected for the cover of the special issue entitled Stimulus-specific adaptation, MMN and predicting coding, edited by R. Auksztulewicz and M.S. Malmierca in Hearing Research. The Figure illustrates the frequency-following response (FFR) scalp distributions of the A) deviant B) standard and C) […]
The Brainlab participates in a Special Report on the COVID-19 pandemic impact on clinical EEG and research
Driven by the necessity to resume experimental, but critically clinical EEG activities after the global lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, an international consortium of over 30 laboratories run a survey on the impact of the pandemic on their routine EEG activities, and the procedures and precautions undertaken to resume their EEG work.
