The journal Scientific Reports publishes online on November 17, 2016, another paper from the Brainlab. The paper is entitled Timing predictability enhances regularity encoding in the human subcortical auditory pathway, and co-authored by Natàlia Gorina-Careta, Katarzina Zarnowiec, Jordi Costa-Faidella and Carles Escera. Using the frequency-following response (FFR) as a proxy of subcortical auditory function, in this […]
In its issue dated October 18th, 2016, The Journal of Neuroscience publishes a new paper from the Brainlab. The paper is entitled Involvement of the serotonin transporter gene in accurate subcortical speech encoding, and co-authored by Selinger, Zarnowiec, Via, Clemente, & Escera. In this paper we show that the frequency-following response (FFR), known as the biological […]

Juego de tonos Experimento sobre predicción sensorial de estímulos auditivos autogenerados BrainLab busca participantes para tomar parte en un experimento de potenciales evocados con electroencefalografía (EEG). El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar los efectos de los mecanismos predictivos sensoriales del cerebro sobre la estimulación auditiva autogenerada. Fundamentalmente, la tarea consistirá en generar diferentes sonidos […]
The paper entitled Sensory suppression of brain responses to self-generated sounds is observed with and without the perception of agency, by Jana Timm, Marc Schönwiesner, Erich Schröger and Iria SanMiguel has been accepted for publication in Cortex. In this collaboration between the University of Leipzig (Germany), the BRAMS (Canada) and the Brainlab, we investigated the […]
