Starlab launches VISI-ON-BRAIN, a €4.5M Horizon Europe doctoral network advancing human-relevant neuroscience tools beyond animal models
Barcelona, 25 February 2026 — Starlab Barcelona SL today announced the launch of VISI-ON-BRAIN (Cutting-edge Human In Vitro and In Silico Biomedical Tools on Brain Disorders), a Horizon Europe project funded with over €4.5 million under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – Doctoral Networks (MSCA-DN). Over 48 months (2026–2029), the consortium will train 15 doctoral researchers to develop and apply next-generation human in vitro and in silico approaches for complex brain dis

A century-long journey: from first recordings to hidden temporal structure
Hans Berger (1873–1941), German psychiatrist and neurologist, was the first to record the human electroencephalogram (EEG) in 1924, pioneering a century-long journey in brain electrophysiology. More than a century after its discovery, electroencephalography (EEG) is experiencing a renewed moment at the center of neuroscience. According to the State of Neuroscience 2025 report by The Transmitter , EEG is currently the top trending term in neuroscience , showing the strongest

EEG as a Biomarker in Alzheimer’s Disease: New Insights from Multimodal Research
Unlocking the potential of electrophysiology for earlier, scalable detection At Starlab Barcelona , we believe that electroencephalography (EEG) holds significant, and still largely untapped, potential as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). As the field moves toward earlier diagnosis, preventive trials, and longitudinal monitoring, there is a growing need for biomarkers that are not only biologically meaningful, but also scalable, affordable, and suitable for repeated u

How does the brain reflect mental effort, vigilance, and fatigue across different tasks — from mental arithmetic to immersive virtual reality?
EEG Spectral Power Correlates Across Cognitive Tasks: Insights from Our Latest Publication in Biological Psychology That’s the question we explored in our latest open-access publication, “EEG spectral power correlates across cognitive tasks: Implications for VR, UXA, and Ergonomics,” recently published in Biological Psychology . This research, led by Ángel Blanco Casares, Ph.D., Karan Chugani, Claire Braboszcz, Eleni Kroupi, and Aureli Soria-Frisch , investigates how EEG spe
