Beethoven's #musicality put to the test: An international #research team incl. MaxPlanck-Psycholinguistics and Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics set out to analyze the composer’s #genetic predisposition by calculating his polygenic score for beat synchronization ability. Out now in Current Biology:  doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Goodbye BIC, hello CoBIC! 🎉 As we bid farewell to the old TRIO #MRI Scanner, we're gearing up for an exciting move to the new #CoBIC . Stay tuned as we usher in a new chapter of advanced #imaging technology! 📷
