Another stage of the joint scientific research within the large-scale institutional international project CAPES-PrINT  was held by the Director of the Centre, Professor Dr. Alexey Vagov  at the University of Pernambuco (Brazil). The research stage was dedicated to the study of multi-zone superconductivity. The promising scientific results were achieved together with the group of Professor Dr. Albino.

Researchers from the HSE Center for Language and Brain have identified previously unknown age-related changes in brain activity during the perception of auditory information in a group of children aged 7–12 years. The researchers used magnetoencephalography (MEG), an ultra-precise method of brain activity recording. The results obtained can be used to explore the impairments in language comprehension in children with autism. The study was published in the Human Brain Mapping.

Researchers of the HSE International Laboratory of Statistical and Computational Genomics together with their international colleagues have proposed a new statistical method for analysing population admixture that makes it possible to determine the time and number of migration waves more accurately. The history of Colombians and Mexicans (descendants of Native Americans, Spaniards and Africans) features two episodes of admixture that occurred about 350 and 200 years ago for Mexicans and 400 and 100 years ago for Colombians. The results were published in the Plos Genetics journal.

Russian-Israeli scientist Fyodor Tatarinov joined the laboratory.

The HSE ISSEK English-language Master’s programme in Governance of Science, Technology and Innovation is accepting applications. Studies in English, practical skills, extensive networking—former and current students shared their impressions with the HSE News Service, while Academic Supervisor Dirk Meissner talked about what to expect in the new academic year.

In the first half of 2022, 2 articles were published by an employee of the laboratory Tatiana Zhuravleva.
