🔍 🧠 How do we look inside the brain?

Discover how MRI creates detailed images of our brain, test your spatial perception, and explore the science behind fun visual illusions!

Join us at European Researchers’ Night in Coimbra!

Joana Sayal is using EEG to study how brain waves synchronize with auditory rhythms — and how this affects states like focused attention and mind-wandering. 🧠👂

Here they are, Joana Sayal and Pedro Torres Palhares, all set to present their scientific posters at the 18th International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition! 🧠🎶

Great work!👏

Congratulations to Roberto dos Santos on completing his Master’s in Molecular and Translational Neuroscience at FMUC!

His thesis, on ageing and Alzheimer’s disease, was supervised by @andre-peres.bsky.social (Proaction Lab) and Maria Ribeiro (CIBIT, ICNAS).
Excellent work! 👏

Wishing all the best to @andre-peres.bsky.social on his new role as a professor at BIOME (UFRN) with the ObjectColumns project!
The project explores how the human brain processes visual information to improve AI algorithms, and it's funded by Conhecimento Brasil.
Well done! 👏

Congrats to Zohar Tal on the FCT funding for the project “CrossToPlasticity”! 🎉
The study explores auditory cortex organization in congenitally deaf individuals using fMRI and behavioral analysis, aiming to advance cochlear implant development. 🧠👂
