It is with great excitement that we are happy to announce the fourth edition of the Frequency-Following Response (FFR) Workshop, to be held at University of Barcelona (Catalonia-Spain) on June 8-10, 2022. Inspired by the former successful editions in London (2014, 2019) and Boston (2016), the idea of the workshop is to attract the increasing […]
In this very first experiment to be carried out in our brain-new Immersive Psychoacoustics Lab (immpaLAB) by early-stage researcher Samantha López-Mochales, we are setting up the probe of concept of our experimental approach to test the role of environmental acoustics in ancient rock art sites to shape human experience. The immpaLAB is a twenty-five square […]
We are very pleased to welcome back Jose Valenzuela, PhD, to our Brainlab team. Jose used to work early in his career as laboratory engineer with us (2008-2011).
