New face at MIB: David Quiroga

Center for Music in the Brain welcomes new PhD student!

18.10.2016 | Hella Kastbjerg

David graduated with honours as a Classical Guitarist from Eafit University in Colombia. Then he completed his Master’s degree in Psychology of Music at the University of Sheffield, UK, where he conducted research on the relationship between music and language, focusing on syntactic processing. Moreover, he took part in a project that sought to assess the benefits of music interventions in a care home for people with dementia. 

With personal interests ranging from emotional responses to music to therapeutic musical interventions, he is currently working on a project that aims to develop a new multifeature EEG/MEG paradigm for the recording of mismatch negativities (MMN) with more real-sounding musical stimuli. Such a paradigm will allow the assessment of auditory perception in a complex sound context and could be used for the evaluation of musical expertise, musical learning, auditory deficits in medical conditions and perceptual effects of selective attention.
