A multidisciplinary team of astrophysicists, neuroscientists, engineers, and musicians has unveiled a pioneering method to “listen” to the structure of the human brain. Published in Nature Scientific Reports , the study presents the first higher-order sonification applied to structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. This technique involves transforming three-dimensional information about the brain into sound, taking into account the spatial relationships and complex structure of the data. To do this, mathematical tools originally developed to study the large-scale structure of the

An international team, with participation from the University of La Laguna (ULL) and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), have, for the first time, captured a detailed snapshot of planetary systems in an era long shrouded in mystery. The study, called ALMA survey to Resolve exoKuiper belt Substructures (ARKS) , is based on a series of 10 articles published simultaneously in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics and was carried out using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) . Thanks to this work, the sharpest images ever of 24 debris disks, the dusty belts left

Arianna Di Cintio, a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias and a lecturer at the University of La Laguna, chaired the organisation of this event, which took place as part of the 17th Scientific Meeting of the Spanish Astronomical Society (SEA). The symposium attracted more than 75 participants at each of its four sessions, featured over 30 scientific presentations and welcomed six guest experts. The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has organised the first symposium of the Spanish Astronomical Society (SEA) dedicated to the computational modelling of galaxies and
