The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences hosts a new neuroscience conference: “Stability and bioactivity of naked extracellular RNAs”. Juan Pablo Tosar, Universidad de la República Institut Pasteur de Montevideo, shares his insights on how some exRNAs are intrinsically stable and can be detected in human biofluids, plus that naked RNA can be internalized by cells and even escape from endosomal compartments into the cytosol. These results have broad implications in immunology, RNA delivery and liquid biopsy-based disease detection

The Faculty of Psychology hosts a new neuroscience conference symposium: Predictive processing in perception and action. Our invited speakers: Erich Schröger, Wilhelm Wundt Institute for Psychology, Leipzig University, Germany; Ana Pinheiro, Faculty of Psychology, University of Lisbon, Portugal and Andrea Desantis, Département Traitement de l’Information et Systèmes, Office National d’Études et de Recherches Aérospatiales, France; will share their valuable insights on:

• • • • • • • • • • The Markov model as a narrative for the predictive memory representations of event sequences
                  • Perceiving voices through predictions and errors: from neural mechanisms to clinical implications
                  • An investigation of the influence of action and prediction on perceptual experience

Ens plau convidar-vos a participar en l'activitat organtizada per celebrar el Dia Internacional de la Dona i la Nena a la Ciència d'enguany. Aquest esdeveniment té com a objectiu reconèixer i destacar el paper de les dones en el món de la ciència i inspirar futures generacions de científiques.

L'activitat consistirà en un cinefòrum en què es projectarà el documental "Women in Science: Alessandra Abe Pacini - Solar Weather", de 15 minuts de durada. A continuació, es realitzarà una taula rodona amb la participació de diferents investigadores de la Universitat de Barcelona (UB), on es discutiran temes rellevants relacionats amb la presència de les dones en la ciència i els reptes que enfronten.

Us animem a unir-vos a aquesta iniciativa, a compartir les vostres experiències i a ser part d'una conversa enriquidora sobre la importància de la igualtat de gènere en el camp científic..

We remind you that these sessions do not require registration and are open to all interested persons, so we ask for maximum dissemination. For more information: https://www.ciberned.es/ciberned-webinar-series/2024-ciberned-webinar-series

La música té un poder universal per mobilitzar i moure les persones. Està present a totes les cultures i, malgrat adoptar formes molt diverses, genera emocions intenses, records perdurables, moments de gran satisfacció i fins i tot estats alterats de consciència. Aquest poder mobilitzar rau en la seva capacitat d'induir i organitzar l'activitat intrínseca de les neurones a través de les ones i els ritmes cerebrals.

A càrrec de Carles Escera, catedràtic de neurociència cognitiva a la Universitat de Barcelona, i investigador de l'Institut de Neurociències en la mateixa universitat.

A day dedicated to learning, discovery, and discussion on the topics of knowledge and innovation starting from stem cell research. Through lectures, films, visits to laboratories, and recreational moments, students will be able to engage with the contents and methods of science.

UniStem Day is an opportunity to discover that scientific research is (also!) fun and fosters personal and social relationships built on evidence, courage and integrity.

The super network for the 16th edition 2024 is composed of 97 Universities and Research Centres in Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Serbia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

The metaverse concept is that of a large-scale social environment based on the convergence of virtual and physical reality. Participants can take part in the metaverse through virtual, augmented or mixed reality. They can carry out everyday activities together, ranging from entertainment through to education, business, politics, health or even legal proceedings. At this time the metaverse is more of an idea than a reality, but a number of nascent systems exist, and all the technological components, including solutions involving AI, are available to bring this idea into existence.
