Last October 3-7, 2018, Brainlab team members Natàlia Gorina-Careta, Fran López-Caballero and Carles Escera traveled to Quebec City (Canada), to participate in the 58th Annual Meeting of the Society for Psychophysiological Research (SPR). During the course of almost one week, several symposiums and plenary talks were organized, aiming at the presentation and discussion of original […]
The paper entitled Pattern-sensitive neurons reveal encoding of complex auditory regularities in the rat inferior colliculus, co-authored by Carles Escera and carried out in collaboration with Prof. Manuel S. Malmierca and his team at the University of Salamanca (Spain), has been published in Neuroimage. In this further study from the ongoing collaboration between the Brainlab […]
This last week, the Brainlab conveyed in Escaló (Catalan Pyrenees) to have its IV Brainlab Workshop, this time in collaboration with the Auditory Neurophysiology Lab (ANL) of the University of Salamanca (Spain) led by Prof. Manuel S. Malmierca. During the course of three days, several symposiums were organized which addressed current research and scientific inquiry […]
El proper divendres 11 de maig de 2018, la Universitat de Barcelona organitza la IV Festa de la Ciència, on es convidarà als assistents a participar en una sèrie d’activitats, jocs, tallers i demostracions científiques amb la intenció de donar a conèixer d’una forma lúdica la recerca que es porta a terme en aquesta institució […]
The Brainlab invites applications for several 3-year PhD contracts (FI/FPU) commencing early 2019. Principal Investigator: Prof. Dr. Carles Escera As a part of our ongoing research program using EEG, MEG, TMS, fMRI and genetic analysis to investigate the neuronal mechanism of auditory perception, with an empahsis on subcortical processes, the Brainlab invites applications for PhD positions in two research projects: Project […]
We here at the Brainlab are moving forward in two parallel directions, one strategic and one scientific. First, the Brainlab has joined the recently created Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu (IRSJD), a join initiative of the Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona Children’s Hospital, the University of Barcelona and the Politechnic University of Catalonia, […]
The paper entitled The Potential Effect of Forbrain as an Altered Auditory Feedback Device, co-authored by Escera, López-Caballero and Gorina-Careta has just published online in the Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research. In this study, Escera and colleagues demonstrated with a double-blind controlled design that Forbrain modifies the input voice according to a Baxandall equalizer […]
The Brainlab joins the Saló de l’Ensenyament Del dimecres 14 al diumenge 18 de març el Recinte Montjuïc acull un any més el Saló de l’Ensenyament. Un espai reservat a l’orientació i informació de les diferents propostes educatives existents en l’actualitat a Catalunya: batxillerat, graus universitaris, estudis superiors, complementaris, de formació, professional, art i […]
The paper entitled Neurons along the auditory pathway exhibit a hierarchical organization of prediction error, co-authored by Carles Escera and carried out in collaboration with Prof. Manuel S. Malmierca and his team at the University of Salamanca (Spain), has been published in Nature Communications. In this study, born out of a long standing collaboration with our […]
The paper entitled Binaural Beat: A failure to enhance EEG power and emotional arousal, co-authored by López-Caballero and Escera has been published online in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. Binaural beat stimulation has been proposed as a candidate method to enhance cognitive functions by entrainment of brain oscillation at the frequency of the beat. Research in this domain […]
