Yuranny Cabral-Calderin

Dr. Yuranny Cabral-Calderin is a Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. She holds a PhD in Systems Neurosciences from the University of Göttingen (2016), an MSc in Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience from the Cuban Center for Neuroscience (2011), and a Diploma in Psychology from Havana University (2007). Her research focuses on neural oscillations, noninvasive brain stimulation, and auditory/visual perception, with a particular interest in neural entrainment mechanisms and brain imaging techniques like EEG-fMRI and tACS. She has contributed to understanding how rhythmic auditory stimulation and transcranial stimulation modulate brain activity and perception.

Her work spans both human and animal models (e.g., bats), exploring cortical networks and oscillatory coherence. Awards include the Merit Abstract Award (OHBM, 2015) and FENS-IBRO stipend (2014). She has held postdoctoral positions at the Max Planck Institute, Goethe University’s Brain Imaging Center, and the German Resilience Center, contributing to interdisciplinary research on neural circuits, consciousness, and cognition.
