Auditory processing around actions: Evidence from psychophysics, electroencephalography, and pupillometry 

    Paraskevoudi, Nadia (Date of defense: 2022-09-30)

    [eng] The ability to distinguish self-generated stimuli from those caused by external sources is critical for all biological organisms. Although substantial work has been done in this domain, mainly showing attenuated ...

    Contribution of the subcortical auditory pathway to the perception and processing of sounds 

    Gorina Careta, Natàlia (Date of defense: 2019-01-28)

    The auditory scene that we face during our day life is highly complex. The human auditory system is able to allow us to maintain a conversation with another person whilst ignoring the surrounding sounds but, at the same ...

    Detection of abnormal neural enconding of speech sounds at birth using the frequency-following response 

    Ribas-Prats, Teresa (Date of defense: 2021-12-20)

    In humans, auditory system is functional at the end of the second trimester of pregnancy and its correct development is crucial to receive auditory inputs from our acoustic environment, exposure which, in turn, is essential ...

    Evoked and induced activity in the auditory nervous system: deviance detection and brainwave entrainment 

    López Caballero, Francisco José (Date of defense: 2019-07-30)

    The auditory system is a crucial element in our interaction with the environment, linked with several cognitive functions such as attention, memory and language. Further characterizing the neural mechanisms explaining ...

    Motor auditory interaction: a window towards associative and predictive processing 

    Spinosa, Vittoria (Date of defense: 2019-12-16)

    Perception can be considered as the bridge necessary to interact with the surroundings. Indeed, through our senses we are continuously exchanging information between the physical world around us and our internal models, ...

    Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation, Personality, and Cognition 

    Domínguez Martin de la Torre, Ona (Date of defense: 2022-06-21)

    [eng] This thesis focuses on cognition and how non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (NIBS) can modify it. In addition, we consider personality. Therefore, this thesis analyzes, in depth, the effects of NIBS on cognition, ...
