A new study led by researchers from SWPS University (Poznań, Poland) and CIMCYC (University of Granada) offers new insights into the role of emotion regulation and attention in a tendency to procrastinate. The findings suggest that participants who frequently procrastinate might have difficulty controlling their attention during task completion and maintaining focus over longer periods of time.

An interdisciplinary team from the Mind, Brain, and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) and the Department of Optics at the University of Granada has developed an innovative method to assess the impact of aging on the ability to anticipate dangers while driving. The study integrated neuropsychological measures with functional vision assessments.

Last 14th September 2025, Canal Sur's ConCiencia programme broadcasted La paradoja del pensamiento [The Paradox of Thought], a report focusing on the research led by Javier Ortiz-Tudela, young Ramón y Cajal researcher from the CIMCYC, as part of the CONNECTS (Cognitive and Neural Computations of Semantics) research project.

A recent study by researchers from the Information and Communications Technologies Research Center (CITIC) and the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) at the University of Granada used a combination of electroencephalography (EEG) and machine learning (ML) techniques to investigate how our brain represents information we perceive both consciously and unconsciously.

The CIMCYC will offer free activities at two stands on the Paseo del Salón to showcase the work of its researchers in the field of psychology in an accessible way through talks and interactive workshops. The goal is to show how research helps improve everyday life, fosters innovation and generates social benefits.

As part of the strategic plan linked to the María de Maeztu Seal of Excellence award, the CIMCYC is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher with experience in the field of the psychology of disinformation. This person will be responsible for working with researchers at the center to develop a new line of research focused on this topic, applied to the center's various areas of research where disinformation exists among the non-expert public.

Individuals with clean driving records and no history of traffic offenses also take risks with alcohol and drugs, underestimating the negative impact these substances have on driving. Two studies from the University of Granada's Mind Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) have delved into this dangerous combination.

Researchers from the CIMCYC, members of the Psychosocial and Transcultural Aspects of Health and Disease research group at the UGR, in collaboration with the University of Alicante, have studied some of the predictors of grief symptomatology in individuals who lost a loved one during the pandemic.

The University of Granada (UGR) has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with the Bank of Spain to promote technological projects in the field of cognitive neuroscience applied to cash. This initiative, promoted and led by the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) of the UGR, consolidates an alliance that will strengthen the study of psychology and neuroscience applied to cash, an area of growing interest.
