1. Presentation
The Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior (IR3C) is an intramural research institute of the University
of Barcelona, which was approved by its Executive Council on April 9th, 2009. Its first Directing Board
was elected on July 16th, 2009, and its first Director, Professor Dr. Carles Escera, was appointed by the
Rector of University of Barcelona on July 29th, that same year, and recently reelected (September 2013)
for a second term. The IR3C is formed by more than a hundred of researchers.
Our main goal is the overal understanding of behavior in all its dimensions, from its simple forms to
higher cognitive functions, specialy human behavior. In this case, assuming that understanding of human
behavior requires the understanding of if supportive machinery and its function: the human brain. Also,
the IR3C addresses the ways in which behavior changes and evolves as a function of natural processes,
both onteogenetically, as in development or aging, and phylogenetically, as a function of selective
preasures, and the forms in which behavior is disrupted in a wide range of behavioral, psychiatric and
neurological disorders.
Research in the IR3C is structured in three main topics: Neurosciences, Cognition, and Behavior, as the
name of our Institute acknowledges, and it is carried out through eleven Research Groups of Excellence
as recognized by the Catalan Government (SGR), and two specific research lines: one in
Neuropsychology, one in Primatology.
In addition to its Director (Dr. Carles Escera), the IR3C Managing Team is form by its Secretary (Dr.
Francesc S. Beltran), and the coordinators of each of its sections: Neurosciences (Dr. Maria Mataro),
Cognition (Dr. Joan López-Moliner), and Behavior (Dr. Juana Gómez Benito).
This document is a compendium of the research activity carried out by the IR3C during the year 2014,
and describes its eleven Research Groups of Excellence, the two lines of research, the publications,
funded projects, patents, and other activities within this period.

The main objective of the GEAV is the advances study of violent behavior in its various forms and social
manifestations from a psychological and criminological integrated perspective. We are particularly
interested in the developing strategies and tools for the prevention and prediction of violence, specially
for their uses by professionals and delivering social services who fight against this social problem. We are
specialized in the construction and application of protocols for risk assessment and management of
different forms of violence.
In the near future we would like to:
 Continue the development of techniques for assessing the risk of violence.
 Keep working on improving offenders treatment programs and introducing innovations to use
these programs in community environments.
 Start decisive action to generalize advances in psychology and criminology in professional
practice in the context of criminal policies (Penal execution, Juvenile Justice…)

Research and Innovation Group on Designs (GRID) - SGR2014-0971
PI: M. Teresa Anguera
For over two decades the members of this research group — both its founding members and those who
have joined subsequently — have developed the use of observational methodology and its
corresponding designs not only from the substantive perspective but also as a methodology for research
in several fields, but specifically in physical activity and sport, communication analysis, and in clinical
psychology. During this period there have been numerous achievements, although many goals are still to
be met.
This project aims to give new impetus to the consolidated line of research that combines the
development of methodological and technological advances, generating a broad platform on which
these two aspects can be coordinated. Since a key aspect of previous projects by this research team has
been the technological innovation provided through automated approaches to data recording the aim
now is to develop specific software for this purpose. We have developed some software programs that
allow us not only the recording of qualitative and quantitative data but also their analysis and the
interpretation of results derived from these observational records.
The aim in our research now is to make more comprehensive use of these data analysis techniques so as
to improve the quality of our scientific production and help, as far as possible, to assess the advantages
and disadvantages that such an approach would imply for the several fields we are interested.
Keywords
Observational designs, automatic recording process, control quality of data, detection of patterns

 New development of observational designs
 Mixed-methods
 Control of quality of data
 Complementation of physiological and behavioral data

Brainlab - Cognitive Neurosicence Research Group – SGR2014-0177
PI: Carles Escera
The Brainlab is a small, multinational, interdisciplinary group, including psychologists, biologists,
engineers, and physicists. We seek to unravel the brain mechanisms of cognitive functions, including
attention, auditory perception, working memory and executive control. Also, we are interested in
emotional and musical processing, and in cognitive dysfunction in a broad spectrum of neurological,
neurodevelopment and psychiatric disorders.. The main current research of Brainlab addresses the
mechanisms by which the auditory system encodes the acoustic regularity that leads to conscious
auditory perception, and how these mechanisms are disrupted in pathological conditions or modulated
as a function of genetic profiles. More recently the group turned into the study of the role of timing
regularity via entrainment of neural oscillations in regularity encoding, at different anatomical and
temporal scales. Also, numerical cognition and the role of predictions in motor-sensory interactions are
current hot research topics in the lab.
Keywords
Brain activity, EEG, evoked potentials, auditory perception, cognitive processes
Research lines
 Regularity encoding and deviance detection in a hierarchically organized auditory system
 Predictive processes in Motor-Sensory interactions
 Auditory regularity encoding in Autism Spectrum Disorders
 Role of COMT, 5-HTTLPR and MAOA polymorphisms in the encoding of rhythm and neural
oscillations to sound stimuli
 Repetition suppression along the auditory hierarchy
 Numerical cognition and math anxiety
 Interactions between predictive coding and predictive timing in audition: characterizing the role
of rhythm in repetition suppression through entrained brain oscillations

Health Areas (GEIMAC) – SGR2014-1139
PI: Juana Gómez
Founded in 2002 and led by Dr Juana Gómez, the Research Group on Measurement Invariance and
Analysis of Change (GEIMAC) is an interdepartmental research group based in the Faculty of Psychology
of the University of Barcelona. Its work centres on detection, evaluation, analysis and intervention in
relation to significant problems in the field of human behaviour, whether on the individual, interpersonal
or group level. The group’s research is particularly concerned with problems that affect people’s health
and quality of life, and in this context special emphasis is placed on the design and methodological
validation of new measurement instruments. These objectives require a multidisciplinary approach that
brings together the methodological, clinical and social perspectives, thereby ensuring both scientific rigor
and the possibility of addressing some of the key problems faced by contemporary society, as well as
their health and social repercussions.

The work of this group is related to Advanced Statistical Techniques and her application in basic and
applied research in Psychology. This is done basically in Clinical Psychology, Health Psychology and
Neuroscience. During 2009-20014, our group has been developed research projects in assessment and
generation of instruments in Neuropsychology and workplace Psychopathology. The group have been
generated a Bayesian statistical approximation to the fitting functions (likelihood ratio) and population
parameter estimation, we have applied these techniques in psychodiagnostic, basic psychometric and
assessment in forensic psychology. Also, our group has been working in some approximations to the
study of pattern recognition of cerebral electric signal in the study of transition. In that last line, we are
actually working in the generation of mathematical and statistical models to estimate brain connectivity

Adaptive Behavior and Interaction Research Group (GCAI) – SGR2014-0071
PI: Vicenç Quera Jordana
Our research is focused on several projects in the fields known as adaptive behavior, modeling and
analysis of social interaction, and computational psychology.
Research procedures: theorizing, modeling, simulation and experimentation of the behavior; we use
computer simulation to investigate situations that are impractical to analyze in nature, and to discover
phenomena that can then be subjected to empirical testing.
Research interests: modeling and simulation of social and adaptive behavior, analysis of interaction
sequences, human social network analysis and statistical analysis of single-subject designs and
cognitive neuroscience data.
Adaptive behavior is a part of the field of artificial life (ALife), which argues that the observed complexity
in the behavior of organisms emerges from the massive, parallel action of simpler behaviors in response
to environmental demands. Unlike cognitive psychology, the adaptive-behavior approach minimizes the
importance of internal representations and explains behavior as the result of the self-organization of
simple sensation-action units, rather than the result of central information processing. Organisms' ability
to adjust their behavior to the environment is based on interaction processes that operate at different
hierarchical levels and time scales: (a) through evolution, natural selection provides the organisms with a
repertoire of specific behaviors, and (b) in shorter time scales, an individual adjusts its behavior to the
environment by learning. Group behavior can be viewed as a phenomenon that emerges from a small set
of simple rules regarding agent interaction. Agents are abstract entities that have basic psychological
properties and adapt to the environment and the behavior of other agents.
We also work on the development of mathematical and statistical models used to describe behavioral
and psychological processes and computer software for model simulation. We do research on
psychometric, statistical and data-analysis techniques, and develop software for behavioral science.

Research Group on Gerontology (GIG) - SGR2014-0640
PI: Feliciano Villar Posada
The group carries out research on two different aspects relating aging and older age.
Firstly, we are interested in older people skills and in their contributions to the social context in which
they participate (families, community, etc.), the benefits extracted from these contributions and how
they could be facilitated. In this respect, we have studied grandparenting, volunteering and civic
involvement of older people, and learning and education in older age.
Secondly, we are also interested in how to improve care in residential facilities from a person-centered
care perspective. Specifically, we have studied attitudes towards sexuality in nursing homes, or how to
involve people with dementia in their own planning of care.
In our studies we have used a diverse set of methodologies, ranging from quantitative methods, using
secondary data of nationally representative samples, to qualitative methods, using narratives or openended sentences that are content or thematically analyzed.
Additionally, our group coordinates the Ibero-american Interdisciplinary Research Network on Aging and
Society, which involves 33 investigators from 11 ibero-american countries and is aimed at promoting
transnational research projects on Social Gerontology.

9. Event organization
Outreach
During 2014 the workshop titled “Jornada de
treball en neurociencia, conducta I noves
tecnologies” was organized by Institute for
Brain, Cognition and Behavior (IR3C) of
University de Barcelona and the Biomedical
Engineering Research Centre (CREB) of
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). The
workshop was held the 22nd of January 2015 at
Palau de les Heures, Campus Mundet.
The objective of the workshop was to promote
the collaboration between IR3C and CREB and
the program was consciently organized to
achieve the goal. First, Dr. Carles Escera director
of IR3C and Dr. Pere Caminal director from CREB
opened the ceremony. Afterwards, during the
morning, 16 oral presentations were done by
researchers from both centers which clearly
evidenced the potential synergies among
research groups. Then, during the afternoon,
researchers could further interact and talk
about future collaborating projects in a relax
atmosphere by meetings previously arrenged.
Finally, the event was closed with smiles and
laughter motivated by Big Van Theory, a
scientific dissemination group.
The workshop was successful and fruitful; about
a hundred people attended and promoted the
beginning of a dozen collaborations between
IR3C and CREB researchers.
