We are pleased to announce the upcoming workshop "SheCodesPsy: Reprogramming stereotypes! Empowering female psychology students with coding skills," funded by the Arqus Teaching Innovation Fund and the María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence of the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center. The workshop will take place from the 13th to the 15th of May 2026 in Granada, Spain.

The Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) welcomes Prof. Dolores Albarracín as a Visiting Scholar this month. As part of her stay, the Person-Environment Interaction Laboratory (LIPE-Lab)—part of the research group “HUM-196: Values, Beliefs and Attitudes”—has organized a series of lectures entitled “Communication, Persuasion and Behavior Change.”

The Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) is joining the international celebration of Brain Awareness Week, the global campaign to promote enthusiasm and support for brain science. Throughout March, the center will hold activities to bring neuroscience research closer to different audiences, explain in an accessible way how the brain develops and changes at different stages of life, and answer questions about how it works. This project has received support and funding from the Dana Foundation and the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS).

El día 10 de marzo, a las 13.00h en el Aula Magna de la Facultad de Psicología, será impartida la conferencia "Tiempos de reordenación patriarcal: la batalla cultural antifeminista", por Carmen Ruiz Repullo, profesora de la Universidad de Granada.

Investigadores del Centro de Investigación Mente, Cerebro y Comportamiento (CIMCYC) de la Universidad de Granada, pertenecientes al grupo de investigación Logopedia Experimental y Aplicada, coordinado por la investigadora Juana Muñoz López, han desarrollado el software INVENTAPALABRRAS para enseñar a leer e intervenir en las dificultades lectoras de manera personalizada e inclusiva, tanto en el aula como en sesiones individuales (niños, niñas y personas adultas). Esta plataforma ha sido registrada en la Oficina de Transferencia de Resultados de Investigación (OTRI), por su carácter innovador y su potencial de transferencia.

PhD student Germán Cipriani, from the Mind, Brain, and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) at the University of Granada, together with researchers from the CEACO group at the Autonomous University of Madrid, led by Dr. Luis Carretié, have studied how emotional images capture attention even when they are very difficult to see.

Research carried out by Aranzazu Vinas (University of the Basque Country), Helena Matute (University of Deusto, Bilbao), and Fernando Blanco (CIMCyC - University of Granada) shows that financial incentives are not always effective. If we want to develop scientific thinking, it is better to give a simple explanation than to offer a financial reward.

The Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) has been awarded funding by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología - FECYT) to launch a new scientific culture project titled "Con Ciencia en Mente" (With Science in Mind).

The Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) has partnered with Maldita.es Foundation to provide scientific expertise in the fight against hoaxes and disinformation.

In a recent study, a group of researchers create the tool Temporal Preparation Task (TEP-Task). In this task, different temporal preparation effects are measured in separate blocks, while everything else remains constant: the same stimuli, the same procedure and the same setting.
