The Ministry of Science, through FONCYT, awarded three research grants to the Unit of Applied Neurobiology (UNA) to develop the following Research Projects:

“Experimental and ecological analysis of the development of cognitive control in children from different socioeconomic backgrounds during their transition to primary school”. PICT 2021-00533. IRs: Maria Soledad Segretin and Sebastián Lipina. The project will be carried out between 2023 and 2027 and will involve researchers from CONICET at CEMIC, from the University of Delft (Nederlands), and University of Edinburgh (UK).

“Exploration of visual selective attention mechanisms in preadolescents from different socioeconomic backgrounds from the perspective of neural activity". PICT-2021-00841. IR: Marcos Pietto. The project will be carried out between 2023 and 2025 and will involve researchers from CONICET at CEMIC and the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

“Diversity in self-regulatory performance at the cognitive, neural and socio-environmental levels: A contribution to the design of cognitive interventions in poor contexts". PICT-2021-00788. IR: Federico Giovannetti. The project will be carried out between 2023 and 2025 and will involve researchers from CONICET at CEMIC and the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
