HSE Scientists Investigate Third-Party Punishment for Unfairness
Scientists can measure individual sensitivity towards unfairness
Leading HSE University Scientists to Receive Grants from Ideas Research Centre for Neuroscience Research
The Ideas Centre for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research has announced the results of its 2023 competition. Five leading neuroscientists will receive grants to open graduate positions for early-career researchers who want to work on solutions to fundamental problems in this area. Three of the competition winners are scientists from HSE University: Matteo Feurra (HSE University in Moscow), Anastasia Kolmogorova (HSE University in St Petersburg), and Sofia Kulikova (HSE University in Perm).

Young scientists learned new methods of brain research
On October 27-30, the VIII International School for Young Scientists "Active and Passive Methods of Brain Research" was held at the HSE Institute of Cognitive Neurosciences.
Researchers caused people to behave less rationally by suppressing activity in specific parts of the brain
Researchers at the HSE Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have shown experimentally that magnetic stimulation of the prefrontal cortex of the brain causes test subjects to act less rationally, changing how they assess possible outcomes at the moment they make risky decisions. The scientists believe that the discovery will provide a better understanding of the mechanisms that give rise to gaming addiction. The results of the study were published in the journal Scientific Reports .
7th IEEE International Conference «Video and Audio Signal Processing in the Context of Neurotechnologies» (SPCN-2022)

International Workshop on Cross-cultural Aspects of Bilingualism
We are happy to invite you to our International Workshop on Cross-cultural Aspects of Bilingualism. The event will take place online on September 30th, 2022. The event is supported by the NCMU (Human Capital Multidisciplinary Research Center) consortium, and it is hosted by the HSE University.
Foreign Languages Slow Down Brain Ageing
Medical advances are causing a gradual increase in average life expectancy. However, this comes at a price, as the number of cases of dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases grows with age. Researchers from HSE University (Russia) and Northumbria University (UK) have found that bilingualism can slow down and mitigate the course of age-related changes in the human brain. The study was published in Frontiers in Psychology.
