Researchers of the LabSex published a study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, in 2024, with the goal of exploring the sexual dynamics in this population group. One of the most consolidated instruments to evaluate SOE is the Orgasm Rating Scale (ORS), which assesses the orgasmic experience using 25 adjectives distributed in four factors (affective, sensory, intimacy, and reward).

Our team at Psychology of Social Problems Research Group from the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (University of Granada) has been working to better understand whether, how, and under which circumstances economic inequality negatively affects people’s subjective well-being. We argue that perceptions and beliefs about economic inequality are key to understanding how living in an unequal society impacts our subjective well-being. 

The Master in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience invites to the CIMCYC Talks “Problematic Social Networking Sites use as a potential disorder - the addiction framework”, with Dr. Julia Balcerowska, researcher at the University of Gdansk. 

To fill this gap, researchers from CIMCYC, in collaboration with a researcher from the University of Otavalo and the School of Psychology of the University of the Americas, developed a pioneering study in Latin America to analyze the performance of Ecuadorian preschoolers in tests of working memory and inhibitory control, considering different age intervals and gender. 

Following our series of CIMCYC Sessions, we are pleased to announce our next AI, Mind and Brain session on Thursday, 22nd May (fully online this time).

El Centro de Investigación Mente, Cerebro y Comportamiento (CIMCYC) de la Universidad de Granada tuvo una destacada participación en la 43ª Feria del Libro de Granada "Mujeres, literaturas", celebrada del 9 al 18 de mayo. El CIMCYC ofreció tres charlas divulgativas que exploraron la investigación en diversas áreas de la Psicología.

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.
