ALMUDENA GONZÁLEZ
Almudena González Brito es doctora en Arte y Humanidades por la Universidad de La Laguna, violonchelista, investigadora y gestora cultural. Su trayectoria combina formación artística y pensamiento científico, con estudios y estancias en Madrid, Barcelona, Ámsterdam y Bruselas.
Desde 2014 investiga la relación entre arte, música y cerebro, situando su trabajo en el cruce entre la neuroestética, la neuromusicología y los estudios culturales. Su investigación explora cómo distintos estilos musicales y coreográficos generan patrones diferenciados de respuesta cerebral, emocional y fisiológica, y qué papel desempeñan estas experiencias en la construcción de la identidad y el comportamiento.
Es profesora e investigadora en la Universidad de La Laguna, donde dirige el grupo de investigación CORPOART. Desde este laboratorio interdisciplinar analiza cómo las prácticas artísticas configuran la percepción, el cuerpo y las decisiones culturales en la vida cotidiana.
Sus trabajos combinan metodologías de las humanidades, la musicología y las neurociencias, contribuyendo a comprender cómo se construye la experiencia estética desde la interacción entre cultura, cuerpo y mente. Sus investigaciones han sido publicadas en revistas científicas nacionales e internacionales de alto impacto.

Almudena González Brito is a cellist, researcher and cultural manager at the University of La Laguna (Spain). She holds a PhD in Arts and Humanities and has pursued artistic and academic training in Madrid, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Brussels.
Since 2014 her research has focused on the relationship between music, the body and the brain, working at the intersection of neuroaesthetics, neuromusicology and cultural studies. Her work investigates how different musical and choreographic styles generate distinct neural, emotional and physiological responses, and how these experiences shape perception, behaviour and cultural identity.
She leads the CORPOART research group at the University of La Laguna, an interdisciplinary laboratory exploring the role of artistic practices in the construction of aesthetic experience and everyday cultural choices.
Her research combines approaches from the humanities, musicology and neuroscience to understand how artistic experience emerges from the interaction between culture, body and cognition. Her work has been published in high-impact national and international scientific journals.
