Sexist Attitudes in Online Video Games: Sexism Against Women Gamers Scale (SAWGS)

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.

Music at the heart of neuroscience - 18/5/23 17:00h. Faraday Hall, “Parque de las Ciencias”

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.

The cognitive benefits of physical exercise are not supported by available scientific evidence

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.
