You can now apply for an INPhINIT doctoral fellowship! The Institute of Neurosciences is a Maria de Maeztu excellence center and you can join us both under the Incoming and Retaining modalities. You can find our project for the Incoming modality in the finder searching by project title: “Temporal coding in the neural representation of auditory […]
The paper entitled Auditory predictions shape the neural responses to stimulus repetition and sensory change, by Cacciaglia, Costa-Faidella, Zarnowiec, Grimm, & Escera has just been published in the journal Neuroimage. In this functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) study, we used a so-called “roving standard paradigm” to show a) that deviance-related activation in superior temporal gyrus […]
