Last Monday January 28th, 2019, at 11:00 at the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Barcelona, Nat\u00e0lia Gorina-Careta defended her thesis entitled Contribution of the subcortical auditory pathway to the perception and processing of sounds<\/strong><\/em>. The thesis was supervised by Dr. Carles Escera, head of Brainlab, and carried out in part in collaboration with Dr. Piia Astikainen, Department of Psychology, University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 (Finland).<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

The thesis was carried out under the Brain, Cognition and Behavior PhD program of the University of Barcelona, and was submitted as a compendium of the following studies:
\n* Gorina-Careta N, Zarnowiec K, Costa-Faidella J, Escera C (2016). Timing predictability enhances regularity encoding in the human subcortical auditory pathway. Scientific Reports<\/em>, 6:37405.
\n* Gorina-Careta N, Escera C (2018). Subcortical sound encoding modulates simple auditory perceptual decisions. Scientific Reports<\/em>, under review.
\n* Gorina-Careta N, Kurkela J, H\u00e4m\u00e4l\u00e4inen J, Astikainen P, Escera C (2018). Understanding the Frequency-Following Response and its generators to sounds of different frequencies: an MEG study. (In preparation).<\/p>\n<\/div>
