New Technology to Improve Brain Activity Mapping

Developed by researchers from the University of Bologna and Dartmouth College, this consists of an innovative template of the cortical surface, developed based on the anatomy of 1031 human brains, which makes it possible to conduct studies in functional magnetic resonance imaging with less data and a higher level of replicability and reproducibility

“Waiting for European Researchers’ Night” Events Are Back

Guided tours, concerts, scientific aperitifs, exhibitions, performances, workshops: the SOCIETY consortium (University of Bologna, CNR - coordinator, CINECA, INAF, INFN, INGV, and the University of Ferrara) is set to launch a series of events. The goal is to bring the public closer to researchers and their everyday work, while showing, through fun and interactive formats, how scientific research shapes our daily lives

The major eruption at the Phlegraean Fields 40,000 years ago did not affect the cultural development of the early Homo sapiens

A new study on the artefacts found in the Grotta di Castelcivita, in the Salerno province, shows that the crucial shift from the Proto-Aurignacian culture to the Early Aurignacian occurred before the major eruptive event that marked the Mediterranean region. This contradicts previous hypotheses on the relevance of sudden natural hazards for technological development in prehistoric times

The Department of Cultural Heritage launches a photo competition focused on cultural heritage

The initiative is open to anyone living in Ravenna. Which pictures best capture Ravenna's rich cultural legacy? Anyone who lives in the city is welcome to tell us about it through a photographic competition designed and promoted by the Department of Cultural Heritage of the University of Bologna - Ravenna Campus. The material collected will be selected by a jury, and the images considered the most significant and expressive of the city’s cultural heritage - both physical and intangible (such as knowledge and traditions) - will be exhibited in the Darsenale spaces as part of a temporary exhibition
