LÍNEAS DE INVESTIGACIÓN 1 2 3 4

El interés del grupo se centra en el estudio de las bases neurales del comportamiento humano, con el fin último de trasladar al ámbito sanitario los avances en investigación. Las principales líneas de trabajo giran en torno a la valoración neuropsicológica y neurofuncional de los déficit de atención y memoria en niños, adultos y ancianos empleando técnicas de neuroimagen funcional tales como la electroencefalografía digital, los potenciales evocados y la magnetoencefalografía.

1 Valoración neuropsicológica de la atención y la memoria

Mediante los protocolos CANTAB y MENTFLEX se realiza una evaluación de los trastornos de atención y memoria en adultos y ancianos. Estos protocolos incluyen adaptaciones que permiten registrar la actividad cerebral durante su administración. Valoración de déficit neuropsicológicos (memoria, atención, lenguaje, percepción, razonamiento, etc...) secundarios a un daño cerebral, secundaria a síndromes neuropsiquiátricos, y detección precoz y diagnóstico de déficit neuropsicológicos asociados al envejecimiento normal y patológico.

1 Modelos probabilísticos de control cognitivo

Título: Modelos probabilísticos de control cognitivo: Su aplicación a la valoración neuropsicológica (ref. PSI2010-17419/PSIC)
Investigador principal: Dr. Francisco Barceló
Entidad financiadora: Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación
Duración: 2010-2013
Resumen:
Este proyecto parte de los resultados obtenidos en dos proyectos anteriores financiados por este Ministerio entre 2004 y 2007. En un proyecto anterior (ref. SEJ2007-61728; con fecha de finalización 30/09/2010), iniciamos la formulación de un modelo computacional de control cognitivo basado en los resultados conductuales y electroencefalográficos (EEG) obtenidos a partir de una versión simplificada del test de clasificación de cartas de Wisconsin (WCST), una prueba neuropsicológica clásica de función frontal, y cuya adaptación para el registro simultáneo del EEG se conoce como test de clasificación de cartas de Madrid (MCST; Barceló, 2003). Con estos antecedentes, en este proyecto plantean los siguientes objetivos: (1) completar la formalización matemática del modelo desde el marco de la Teoría de la información y los modelos bayesianos de probabilidad; (2) generalizar la aplicación del modelo a otras dos tareas clásicas de “control cognitivo” (p.ej., flancos y Stroop), y que son tradicionalmente empleadas en Neuropsicología como indicadores de la función prefrontal; (3) ajustar el modelo con nuevos datos conductuales y EEG, obtenidos mediante los tres paradigmas conductuales de control cognitivo mencionados; y (4) validar la capacidad diagnóstica y predictiva del modelo en adultos jóvenes y mayores sanos, y en pacientes con daño cerebral. Con el desarrollo de nuevos modelos probabilísticos se pretende complementar a los modelos actuales sobre control cognitivo (Miller, 2000; Posner, 2004), aportando un marco formal para la formulación de nuevas hipótesis y cuestiones de investigación, además de reinterpretar algunas nociones intuitivas usadas en los modelos clásicos (p.ej., control “voluntario vs. involuntario”, estímulo “relevante vs. irrelevante”) desde una nueva perspectiva formal e integradora (Barceló, Periáñez y Nyhus, 2008).

2 Cardiovascular fitness, aging and cognition

Título: Physical activity as a protective factor of cognitive ageing (Ref: PSI2010-21609-C02-02/PSIC)
Investigador principal: Dr.Pilar Andrés
Entidad financiadora: Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación
Duración: 2010-2013
Resumen:
The ageing of the population will inevitably lead to a growing number of older people living alone and in need of care. Given the high cost of geriatric care, a critical research issue is exploring ways to improve or maintain cognitive and functional status in old age. Unfortunately, it has been shown that training those specific cognitive processes most sensitive to ageing (such as speed of processing or working memory), produces only limited beneficial effects. However, research also suggests that factors such as physical activity may act as more general modulators of cognitive decline. The current proposal is based on the the concept of cognitive and brain reserve (Stern, 2002, 2009) and investigates how physical activity can reduce the effects of ageing on attention and memory functions. More specifically, we will test whether exercise has greater effects on cognitive tasks that require high levels of executive control, which are the most sensitive to the effects of ageing.

3 Distracción por novedad auditiva

Título: Una investigación empírica de la distracción por novedad auditiva: hacia un nuevo modelo teórico (ref. PSI2009-08427)
Investigador principal: Dr. Fabrice Parmentier
Entidad financiadora: Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación
Duración: 2009-2012
Resumen:
For efficient everyday functioning, human beings require the ability to concentrate on tasks at hand in the face of potential distraction. This selective attention ability is balanced against the need to remain alert to the potential occurrence of unexpected events. This adaptive function is fulfilled by attention capture mechanisms set to react rapidly and automatically to novel stimuli and to trigger an orientation response by the organism. The brain’s ability to detect changes in the environment comes with a cost, however: The potential to be distracted by task-irrelevant stimuli. Understanding this type of distraction is important in order to improve our understanding of some of the most fundamental mechanisms of human cognition, but also in order to predict in what situations people might be particularly prone to distraction. Distraction accounts for a large part of human errors in high work load environments (e.g., aircraft cockpit) and has also been identified as an especially prominent issue in old age and a number of clinical conditions. Sound has a well documented propensity to distract us. In particular, research shows that unexpected auditory stimuli presented in the context of otherwise repetitive sounds constitute potent distracters. While previous studies have described the brain’s electrophysiological response to auditory novelty, the behavioral side of distraction has been somewhat overlooked despite its fundamental and applied implications. The present proposal describes a program of work including a list of bespoke laboratory experiments designed to address a number of fundamental questions regarding the nature and underpinning mechanisms of distraction by novelty. This work builds up on Dr Parmentier’s recent published work on the topic and seeks to establish the building blocks of an integrative theory of distraction.
