Experimento de memoria con registro de EEG y EyeTracking ¡Necesitamos participantes para un experimento! Nuestro objetivo es estudiar la memoria para estímulos auditivos bajo ciertas condiciones. Te pediremos que realices una tarea de memoria auditiva mientras registramos la dilatación de tu pupila con un EyeTracker y tu actividad cerebral con un electroencefalograma (EEG). El experimento […]
The paper entitled Neural generators of the frequency-following response elicited to stimuli of low and high frequency: a magnetoencephalographic (MEG) study, by, Gorina-Careta, Kurkela, J.L.O., Hämäläinen, J., Astikainen, P., and Escera, has been published in the journal Neuroimage. This paper is the outcome of a scientific collaboration between the Brainlab and the Active Mind Lab, […]
The ICREA Acadèmia award was launched in 2008 by the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA) to distinguish scholars of the Catalan university system and in support of their expanding research programs. The support is for five years in which the awardee involves in research activities in an almost full-time basis. Since its […]
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 […]
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 […]
¡Comienza una nueva encuesta! Encuesta sobre preferencias musicales. El objetivo de esta encuesta es conocer las preferencias musicales de la población de entre 18 y 35 años de edad. Los resultados de este estudio serán analizados por los miembros del proyecto interdisciplinar Artsoundscapes, dirigido por la Dra. Margarita Díaz-Andreu y financiado por el Consejo Europeo […]
The paper entitled Psychology meets archaeology: psychoarchaeoacoustics for understanding ancient minds and their relation to the sacred, by Valenzuela, Díaz-Andreu, and Escera, has been published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology. This paper is the first outcome of our collaboration with archaeologist Prof. Margarita Díaz-Andreu, ICREA Research Professor at our University (Department of History and […]
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 […]
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) […]
