PhD candidate from Universitat Pompeu Fabra visits MIB for 3 months.
08.02.2019 |
Alexandre Celma Miralles is a PhD candidate in Biomedicine in the Center for Brain and Cognition at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). After a Music Professional degree on violin (2010) and a BA in Catalan Philology (2012), he pursued a MA in Cognitive Science and Language (2014) and a MSc in Brain and Cognition (2015) to study the “syntactic” structures of music and language. He is currently working on music cognition in the “Language & Comparative Cognition Group”.
His ongoing thesis is entitled “Neural and Evolutionary Correlates of Rhythm Processing through Beat and Meter”. The neural correlates of timing mechanisms are observed through electroencephalographic recordings while their evolutionary bases are behaviorally studied with rats. The human studies focused on the role of modality, attention and formal music training in rhythmic perception. The animal studies focused on isochrony detection and rhythmic recognition. He is currently seeking the hierarchical tonal-harmonic structures of music and the effects of neural entrainment on motor production.
Alexandre (Sànder) is visiting the MIB lab for three months thanks to a Spanish grant. He will work on an EEG study under the supervision of Boris Kleber and Peter Vuust.
