Welcome to the UPF Digital Repository

The institutional repository collects, disseminates and preserves, in digital form, the intellectual output that results from the academic and research activity of the UPF and also the scientific magazines and the institutional publications. Its purpose is to increase the impact of research done at the UPF and its intellectual memory.

Characteristic sounds facilitate object search in real-life scenes

Kvasova, Daria; Garcia-Vernet, Laia; Soto Faraco, Salvador (Frontiers, 2019)

Real-world events do not only provide temporally and spatially correlated information across the senses, but also semantic correspondences about object identity. Prior research has shown that object sounds can enhance ...
Awakening: Predicting external stimulation to force transitions between different brain states

Deco, Gustavo; Cruzat, Josephine; Cabral, Joana; Tagliazucchi, Enzo; Laufs, Helmut; Logothetis, Nikos K.; Kringelbach, Morten L. (National Academy of Sciences, 2019)

A fundamental problem in systems neuroscience is how to force a transition from one brain state to another by external driven stimulation in, for example, wakefulness, sleep, coma, or neuropsychiatric diseases. This requires ...
A new computational approach to estimate whole-brain effective connectivity from functional and structural MRI, applied to language development

Hahn, Gerald; Skeide, Michael A.; Mantini, Dante; Ganzetti, Marco; Destexhe, Alain; Friederici, Angela D.; Deco, Gustavo (Nature Research, 2019)

Recently introduced effective connectivity methods allow for the in-vivo investigation of large-scale functional interactions between brain regions. However, dynamic causal modeling, the most widely used technique to date, ...
Altered ability to access a clinically relevant control network in patients remitted from major depressive disorder

Figueroa, Caroline A.; Cabral, Joana; Mocking, Roeal J.T.; Rapuano, Kristina M.; van Hartevelt, Tim J.; Deco, Gustavo; Expert, Paul; Schene, Aart H.; Kringelback, Morten L.; Ruhé, Henricus G. (Wiley, 2019)

Neurobiological models to explain vulnerability of major depressive disorder (MDD) are scarce and previous functional magnetic resonance imaging studies mostly examined “static” functional connectivity (FC). Knowing that ...
Climate change, environmental degradation and Mediterranean migration: premises for shaping future policies

Zapata-Barrero, Ricard; Melkonian, Karina; Özdemir, Gülce Şafak (2019-12)
