Do age related differences influence risk perception during a pandemic crisis?
Do age related differences influence risk perception during a pandemic crisis?
An interdisciplinary group investigated how age influenced predicted risk during the COVID-19 emergency state in Portugal. They showed that projected risk decreased more steeply for younger than older adults. Their findings suggest that younger adults might had a different prediction of how the epidemic-related risk will evolve.
Revisiting consciousness: Distinguishing between states of conscious focused attention and mind wandering with EEG
In an article recently out in Conscious and Cognition, Óscar Goncalves along with colleagues from Tilburg University and University of Madeira, showed that our typical daily oscillation between focused and wandering consciousness is associated in the attenuation of some of the neurophysiological markers of consciousness access.
Óscar Gonçalves awarded for Teaching Innovation

The awarded project, U3C – University of Coimbra Consciousness Consortium, came to life through the course Neuropsicologia da Consciência (Neuropsychology of Consciousness) of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Coimbra (FPCEUC), having its first edition in the academic year of 2020/2021.
We are looking for post-doctoral fellows and research assistants
We are looking for 2 post-doctoral fellows: 1 in Computational Neuroscience and Dimensionality Reduction (e.g., SOMs) and 1 in Neuroimaging (fMRI) and MVPA.
The Proaction lab is also looking for 3 Research Assistants with experience working with fMRI and MVPA.
