Driven by the necessity to resume experimental, but critically clinical EEG activities after the global lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, an international consortium of over 30 laboratories run a survey on the impact of the pandemic on their routine EEG activities, and the procedures and precautions undertaken to resume their EEG work. The outcome of […]
The paper entitled Effects of cTBS on the Frequency-Following Response and other auditory evoked potentials, by López-Caballero, Martin-Trias, Ribas-Prats, Gorina-Careta, Bartrés-Faz, and Escera, has been published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. This paper is the outcome of a scientific collaboration between the Brainlab and the Brain Stimulation Lab, lead by Prof. David Bartrés-Faz […]
The paper entitled Emergence of prediction error along the human auditory hierarchy, by Font-Alaminos, Ribas-Prats, Gorina-Careta, and Escera has been published in the journal Hearing Research. In this study we had the double aim of a) finding evidence of prediction error in the human subcortical system, and b) prediction error would be modulated by the […]
Last August 2019, two papers authored by the Brainlab were published in the new edition of the Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience: In the paper: Escera, C. and Gorina-Careta, N. (2019). Auditory brainstem responses. In: Jaeger D., Jung R. (Eds.) Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience: SpringerReference. Springer Science+Business Media, part of Springer Nature 2019. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-7320-6_423-2, que present a […]
The paper entitled The frequency-following response (FFR) to speech stimuli: a normative dataset in healthy newborns, by Ribas-Prats, Almeida, Costa-Faidella, Plana, Corral, Gómez-Roig, & Escera has just been published in the journal Hearing Research. This is the first paper that comes out from the collaboration between our Brainlab at the University of Barcelona and the […]
The paper entitled Auditory predictions shape the neural responses to stimulus repetition and sensory change, by Cacciaglia, Costa-Faidella, Zarnowiec, Grimm, & Escera has just been published in the journal Neuroimage. In this functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) study, we used a so-called “roving standard paradigm” to show a) that deviance-related activation in superior temporal gyrus […]
The paper entitled Pattern-sensitive neurons reveal encoding of complex auditory regularities in the rat inferior colliculus, co-authored by Carles Escera and carried out in collaboration with Prof. Manuel S. Malmierca and his team at the University of Salamanca (Spain), has been published in Neuroimage. In this further study from the ongoing collaboration between the Brainlab […]
The paper entitled The Potential Effect of Forbrain as an Altered Auditory Feedback Device, co-authored by Escera, López-Caballero and Gorina-Careta has just published online in the Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research. In this study, Escera and colleagues demonstrated with a double-blind controlled design that Forbrain modifies the input voice according to a Baxandall equalizer […]
The paper entitled Neurons along the auditory pathway exhibit a hierarchical organization of prediction error, co-authored by Carles Escera and carried out in collaboration with Prof. Manuel S. Malmierca and his team at the University of Salamanca (Spain), has been published in Nature Communications. In this study, born out of a long standing collaboration with our […]
The paper entitled Binaural Beat: A failure to enhance EEG power and emotional arousal, co-authored by López-Caballero and Escera has been published online in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. Binaural beat stimulation has been proposed as a candidate method to enhance cognitive functions by entrainment of brain oscillation at the frequency of the beat. Research in this domain […]
