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. The outcome of […]
Midiendo las emociones evocadas por la acústica de ambientes sonoros especiales ¿Hasta qué punto la música se escribe para el espacio y el contexto donde va a ser interpretada? ¿Alguna vez has pensado que los compositores escriben música aprovechando la acústica de determinados espacios? Mediante este experimento estudiamos si esta relación canción-lugar tiene algún efecto […]

This paper is the outcome of a scientific collaboration between the Brainlab and the Brain Stimulation Lab, lead by Prof. David Bartrés-Faz […]
The University of Barcelona has launched the Master+UB Programme to motivate scientific careers by carrying out a Master’s degree within a research group. The Brainlab has secured one of such fellowships linked to the Master in Research in Behavior and Cognition. If you are interested, make sure you fulfill the requirements and contact us at […]
The paper entitled Emergence of prediction error along the human auditory hierarchy, by Font-Alaminos, Ribas-Prats, Gorina-Careta, and Escera has been published in the journal Hearing Research. In this study we had the double aim of a) finding evidence of prediction error in the human subcortical system, and b) prediction error would be modulated by the […]
Last Monday December 16th, 2019, at 10:00 at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Barcelona, Vittoria Spinosa defended her thesis entitled Motor-auditory interaction: a window towards associative and predictive processing. The thesis was jointly supervised by Dr. Iria SanMiguel and Dr. Carles Escera, and carried out in part in collaboration with Dr. János Horváath, Institute of Cognitive […]
After twelve exact years (from 11/27/2007 to 11/27/2019) with us, our beloved lab manager, Francisco Javier Díaz Santaella –Paco, left the Brainlab. He is heading towards Málaga, south in Spain, where he hopes to find a better life. We wish him the best for his new life, and will keep him in the deepest of […]
Experimento sobre predicción sensorial de sonidos autogenerados ¿Alguna vez te has preguntado por qué no puedes hacerte cosquillas a ti mismo? ¿O por qué algunas personas se sienten confusas cuando una frase no termina cómo ellos patata? ¡Pues el BrainLab investiga sobre eso, y necesitamos voluntarios para un experimento! Nuestro objetivo es entender qué sucede en […]
Last August 2019, two papers authored by the Brainlab were published in the new edition of the Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience: In the paper: Escera, C. and Gorina-Careta, N. (2019). Auditory brainstem responses. In: Jaeger D., Jung R. (Eds.) Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience: SpringerReference. Springer Science+Business Media, part of Springer Nature 2019.
