I study how the brain processes sequences of sounds, in particular music. I use EEG, MEG and now iEEG to understand auditory memory and predictive processing. I have been working at the Center for Music in the Brain in Aarhus, Denmark, where I also did my PhD. I will be joining Dr. Robert Kinght's lab in January 2022 to investigate the neural correlates of working memory and imagery for musical sound sequences. I grew up in Colombia and love dancing.
