Coinciding with the twentieth anniversary of the implementation of the penalty point-based driving license in Spain in 2026, a CIMCYC research team has published a study analyzing the effectiveness of official point recovery courses in reducing reoffending among traffic offenders.
Why Does Vigilance Decrement Occur? Do the Reasons for Losing Focus Change as We Grow Older? A research team at CIMCYC has investigated how our vigilance capacity changes with age and what mechanisms might explain its decline over time. Additionally, they have studied the role of music in attentional development.
El CIMCYC da inicio a un nuevo ciclo de las reuniones periódicas ERC Meetings para el curso académico 2026/2027.

How does the brain integrate information from different senses? What happens when, in a virtual environment, we see a hand that mirrors our movements? Why can a tennis player come to experience a racket as an extension of their own body? This study uses the rubber hand illusion to investigate how the brain combines information from different sensory modalities to construct a representation of our own body.
A team of researchers from the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) at the University of Granada and the Institute of Psychological Research at the University of Costa Rica have published a scientific article examining whether the degree of acceptance of economic inequality is associated with trust in the sitting government, and whether both factors, in turn, might function as a "filter" for interpreting the country's economy.
On September 23, the inaugural session of the Master’s Degree in Psychology of Social Intervention at the University of Granada will take place, marking the start of the 2026/27 academic year. The events will be held in the Aula Magna of the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Granada.
A CIMCYC study shows that the brain retains its ability to combine information from different senses during the transition towards sleep, although the neural dynamics supporting this process are altered.
Did you know that economic inequality can influence how we view relationships between women and men? A new study conducted by CIMCYC researchers Sabina de León, Rosa Rodríguez Bailón, Pilar Pérez Álvarez and Jesús López Megías confirms that it does. Specifically, when we perceive economic resources to be distributed very unequally, we tend to view relationships between women and men as more competitive and less cooperative.
A new protocol allows biological evaluation of how preschool children react to a stressful situation.
For years, sports science has operated on the assumption that engaging in a demanding mental task impairs athletic performance. Now, a series of studies led by Darías Holgado—a PhD graduate from the University of Granada (UGR) and researcher at UniDistance Suisse—in collaboration with Daniel Sanabria, a scientist at the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center at UGR, confirm that, contrary to popular belief, prior cognitive effort does not negatively affect physical exertion physiology, perceived exertion or athletic performance.
