In a recent study published in the journal Consciousness and Cognition, researchers from the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center Rafael Román-Caballero, Elisa Martín-Arévalo, Paulina del Carmen Martín-Sanchez, Juan Lupiáñez and Mariagrazia Capizzi find that this is not such a simple scenario. In their study, these scientists have shown that, while rhythmic contexts benefit the speed with which we are able to discriminate auditory tones (whether they are higher or lower than other reference tones), this benefit also occurs for tones that occur out of time.

The researchers conducted a synthesis of qualitative studies, analysing in depth the narratives of nursing professionals collected in international publications. This approach has allowed to identify recurring themes in nurses’ experiences, revealing the deep emotional impact the pandemic has had on these professionals. 

Investigadoras del Centro de Investigación Mente, Cerebro y Comportamiento (CIMCYC) de la UGR están impulsando la mejora de la educación para estudiantes con alta capacidad intelectual a través de su participación en el proyecto europeo Erasmus+ YOUR BREAKTHROUGH: SMART SOLUTIONS FOR SMART MINDS. Esta iniciativa busca desarrollar soluciones innovadoras para el sector educativo.

To find out, in this study conducted at CIMCYC, we asked a group of trained cyclists to perform a task while pedaling- sometimes at an easy pace, other times at a very high intensity. The task was simple but demanding: participants had to focus on certain stimuli and ignore others. It's a way to test the flexibility of our brain and its ability to filter out distractions and stay focused on what matters.

The Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) of the University of Granada (UGR) will hold its VII Workshop “Challenges and Opportunities for Collaboration in Psychological Research" on June 5 and 6.

Leiden University students explore interdisciplinary research in cognitive neuroscience during their visit to CIMCYC

we are pleased to announce our next Time-resolved Neuroimaging (EEG+) session which will be held by David López-García, who is going to talk about The MVPAlab Toolbox, a tool for multivariate analysis of EEG data. Designed with an intuitive graphical interface, MVPAlab allows both inexperienced and experienced users to perform complex analyses based on machine learning techniques, such as temporal decoding.

The Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) at the University of Granada is thrilled to announce a five-day Summer School focused on the cutting-edge research surrounding the characterization and intervention of excess weight. This intensive program offers a unique opportunity for young researchers in cognitive neuroscience to engage with leading academics in the field.

The Master in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience invites to the CIMCYC Talks “Anthropomorphization - The psychological effects of robots that appear human”, with Dr. Roy de Kleijn, researcher at the University of Leiden

Recent research published in Political Psychology by researchers from CIMCYC (University of Granada) and a researcher from the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” (Italy) explores this question. Through three studies with more than 2,400 participants in Spain and Italy, the team discovered that beliefs about social mobility play a key role in attitudes towards wealth redistribution.
