ExpORL PhD Students Participate in the Cognitive Neuroscience 2016 Workshop

The Cognitive Neuroscience 2016 Workshop took place between the 18th and 21st of April in the Donders Institute in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. It consisted in theoretical and practical sessions regarding the FieldTrip toolbox for MATLAB. Participants had the opportunity to attend lectures and exercise sessions to master this tool, which will be useful for their corresponding projects.

Raul Granados Barbero and Ania Samsel were present there on behalf of our lab, as members of the ChildBrain project. Not only did they received training on said skills, but they also had the chance to exchange and discuss ideas with the rest of the participants.

Lab Open Day - Children Visit ExpORL

‪#‎LabOpenDay‬: curious children learned about ‪#‎hearing‬ and the importance of keeping their music not so loud. Our young visitors were full of questions and eager to share their experience with hearing impaired people, mostly family members.
