🗣️PRIMERA SESIÓN DE PSYCHOBEERS DEL 2026✨ 📢 Carmen Callizo Romero nos contará cómo las personas son capaces de pensar sobre un concepto tan abstracto como el tiempo, y cómo la cultura y la religión hacen que personas de diferentes puntos del mundo piensen sobre él de forma diferente ⏳💯

🚨 New preprint 🚨 Multisensory integration is often described as basic, robust, even ✨“cognitively impenetrable” ✨ But does the brain still bind the senses when alertness drops? 😴🧠 🔗 We tested this during natural sleep onset: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Thread below 👇

Drowsiness alters the neural dynamics but not the core computations of multisensory integration

Fluctuations in alertness shape perception and behaviour, yet how they affect the brain’s ability to integrate information across senses remains poorly understood. Here we investigated whether multise...

🚵 How does arousal level affect cognition? we show that cognitive control is preserved during sleepiness and intense exercise, but decision-making slows down while sleeping, and attentional focus improves while cycling. cimcyc.ugr.es/en/informati... Data and paper open in the osf.io/uvq3m/

Do natural fluctuations in arousal modulate cognitive control and decision-making?

Throughout the day, people experience a series of natural fluctuations in our level of physical arousal. These changes in our physiological state, ranging from deep sleep to physical exhaustion, appea...
