Three CIMCYC researchers participated in the 2023 edition of the Desgranando Ciencia festival.
Currently, our society has begun a process of digitalization that undoubtedly deserves analysis. Virtual environments such as video games are changing the way we relate to each other, although, unfortunately, they reproduce stereotypes rooted in real life. In fact, numerous investigations highlight how sexism has an alarming presence in online video games, highlighting the need to make visible and deeply analyze this discrimination usually directed towards women.
Research on motorcyclists' distraction and inattention is limited, especially when compared to that of automobile drivers. This study, involving researchers from CIMCYC, analyzes motorists' attentional errors and their relationship to participation in distracting activities.
Music has been part of the human sound and social environment for millennia. It is a reality that fascinates both experts and amateurs. The immensity of melodies, rhythms and harmonies that make up our favorite musical pieces can evoke as many questions as emotions. In this series of scientific talks, we will have four of the leading international researchers in the field of neuroscience and the psychology of music to answer many of these questions.
Workshop Motivation and Cognitive Effort: New Research Directions
Researchers from CIMCYC and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Granada, in collaboration with two research centers in the Southern region of Denmark, have carried out a European research project on intimate partner violence (IPV) in pregnant women (Project STOP: STop intimate partner viOlence in Pregnancy).

Recently, a team of researchers that includes Luis F. Ciria, Rafael Román-Caballero and Daniel Sanabria (Centro de Investigación Mente, Cerebro y Comportamiento, CIMCYC) have published a paper in the prestigious scientific journal Nature Human Behaviour that has shed light on the debate about the cognitive benefits of physical exercise. Until now, physical exercise had been widely considered to have a positive impact on people's cognitive functions. However, this study suggests that the scientific evidence does not fully support this claim.
In April 2013, the Center for Mind, Brain and Behavior Research (CIMCYC) at the University of Granada was officially inaugurated. To celebrate this milestone, we will participate in the '10th CIMCYC Anniversary Research Conference: Past, Present, and Future' on May 11th and 12th, 2023.
