Neural entrainment to languages of different rhythms in adults and infants 

Özer, Ege Ekin (Data de defensa: 2024-03-21)

In this thesis, we explored neural entrainment as a potential mechanism to underline the behavioral evidence that certain phonological properties of listeners’ native language affects speech segmentation. In two experimental ...

Analysis of circulating RNAs for the early detection of complex diseases using liquid biopsy 

Cabús Fornas, Lluc (Data de defensa: 2024-03-15)

RNA is a molecule that is released by the different tissues into the circulation. When it is found in the circulation it is called cell-free RNA (cfRNA). This type of molecule has great potential as a noninvasive biomarker ...
