I want to understand how brains (any brain) construct the visual perception of the world. When thinking about this, I always find myself wondering if there are different strategies to build different brains or just a small set of fundamental principles governing the development of any nervous system.
Otherwise, I like handball and beer (although not always in that order).

 

 

 

 

Graciela Navarro Mora. Post-doctoral researcher.

 

I would like to know how information is conveyed and processed by our brain when generating complex behaviours. Also, I am very interested in understanding visual perceptions, as it represents a great model to explore how the world around us is abstracted in our mind.

I love traveling too.

 

 

 

 

Sandra Gomis Pont. Graduate student.

 

My work is exploring for fundamental principles of neocortical development and function by comparing the visual system processing with higher-order cognitive processing, such as the resolution of moral dilemmas during social interactions.

My background is Biomedical Engineer and I'm moving into the exciting world of Neuroscience. Right now, your computer is consuming around 50 watts just showing you this text. Well, your brain, this viscous mass of protein, salt and water, consume a tiny fraction of that power to read these lines; even is able to look at the pictures on the left and see what appears in the picture is a multicolor brain. For this reason I want to know how  this amazing machine works.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sergio Molina Rodriguez. Undergraduate.

 

I started my career as a nurse, studying how the human’s organism works. This is where my interest for the influence that the mind inflects on the body started. For this reason, I decided to also study psychology. It was during this last period that I find out a perfect balance between the body and the mind. No, I am not saying I started meditating, but that I did discover my true passion: neuroscience, the one that combines the two knowledge areas I had acquired.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marcos Mirete Fructuoso. Undergraduates.

 

Behavioral psychology’s study woke up my interest for finding out how the behavior principles worked in the brain. For this reason, I have actually decided to engage myself in the passionate, but not simple at all, adventure of studying the neuronal mechanisms that allow us to perceive, think, feel and behave the way we do.

I’ve been passionate for magic and neuroscience since I was a child. Now, I can combine both worlds to being able to understand how magicians have been fooling us thanks to the failures of our perceptions and the structure of our brain. As a student of Biology as well as a magician, I would be glad to find common benefits between magic and science to reveal the deepest secrets of attention, perception and memory.
