Subject: FW: Call for Symposia: Annual meeting of the British Association
for Cognitive Neuroscience
Dear colleague,
Re: Annual meeting of the British Association for Cognitive Neuroscience
(BACN)
I would like to invite you to submit proposals for symposia for our 2009
meeting, to be held from 21st - 23rd September at the UCL Institute of Child
Health, London.
The general theme of this year's meeting is 'cortical plasticity' - a broad
theme, but one that is critical for understanding cognition at a number of
levels: from sensory learning to language and memory. It also requires
convergent methodologies and consequently we encourage you to represent the
variety of modern neuroscience methods to address questions such as
cognitive development, higher brain function or recovery from injury. We are
also open to any alternative suggestions.
We are a relatively young society that is keen to support scientists at the
beginning of their career. We therefore provide several bursaries for
graduate students and a poster prize for exceptional undergraduate projects,
the best of whom will be invited to give a platform presentation. There will
be opportunity to interact with world-leading neuroscientists from nearby
UCL-based neuroscience centres (e.g. the Wellcome Trust Centre for
Neuroimaging and the Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience). We also promise
a lively social programme - something BACN is well renowned for!
Please submit your symposium proposals by the 1st February 2009 directly to
me (T.Baldeweg(a)ich.ucl.ac.uk ). Please include a provisional list of
speakers and titles. Symposia usually last from 1.5h to 2.5h. Free
registration for participants and contributions towards travel expenses are
available.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Torsten Baldeweg
Chairman BACN
PS: For those of you who missed our last meeting in Swansea, a summary is

Dear all
The first slide in the attached Powerpoint presentation was generated by
Piers for a paper based on data gathered at Aston. The stimuli were
written words. The figure shows the time-frequency plots for virtual
electrodes inserted at 4 different sites in the brain, with power
represented in the colour. There are 3 plots for each site showing evoked
power (left), total power (middle) and induced power (right). These
figures were generated in Fieldtrip where the time-frequency plots are
computed with respect to a baseline. Piers has added a couple of slides
which shows the steps in Fieldtrip that he used.
The left middle occipital gyrus (MOGl) site is closest to primary visual
cortex where the words first arrive. You will notice that the power there
is mostly evoked and that the induced component is small. The same is
true at the left mid fusiform gyrus (= the 'visual word form area').
Contrast that with the left and right inferior frontal gyri (IFGl), which
are further from primary visual cortex. There is some evoked power at
those sites, but most of the total power is induced.
It seems to me that the lessons could be:
1. If you plot total power, do not automatically assume that it will be
mostly induced. There are conditions and sites (close to primary sensory
cortex?) where the total power may be mostly evoked.
2. Do not plot total power and call it "induced". It may not be.
3. It could be that the more synapses a response passes through, the more
the power shifts from evoked to induced. That could be because different
stimuli complete the passage from early to late sites at different rates
in different participants with the result that the response gets jittered
in time, disappears in the evoked averaging, and appears instead in the
induced response. Induced responses may not always be qualitatively
different from from evoked responses - they may simply be smeared out in
time. (Note: This is not to deny the existence of induced responses which
are NOT the result of stereotypical waveforms + jitter, but rather
represents increased power in several oscillators within a given time
period.)
4. It would be a good thing if the VE tools we develop in YNiC for
generating time-frequency plots were capable of distinguishing evoked from
induced responses and plotting them separately.
Please discuss in rare pre-Christmas moments of sobriety.

Dear Colleagues,
HM died. Several articles have appeared that you may like to read and
keep. A part of neuroscience history has passed away.
All the best,

Subject: HM's contribution remembered in the New York Times
Dear Colleagues,
Here is a wonderful article that appeared on the front page of the New
York Times today commemorating the life of HM and his role as the
research subject in the fundamental memory studies by Brenda Milner.
HM's life story is touching: his contributions to research are
recognized and his relationship with Dr. Milner and her colleagues is
kindly portrayed.
An article by Peggy Curran marking the death of HM and highlighting his
role in Dr. Milner's research appeared in the front section of the
Montreal Gazette today.
Please see:

Please join me in offering condolences to Dr. Milner and to her former
student Dr. Suzanne Corkin (Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience, MIT)
who have lost a friend.

*BNA 20^th National Meeting - abstract deadline** 31^st JANUARY!*
This is a reminder that registration and abstract submission is now well
underway for our 20^th National Meeting, 19^th – 22^nd April, 2009. We
are delighted to be using for the first time The Adelphi, Liverpool, a
unique and historic venue that now offers spacious conference facilities
in addition to its other grand rooms and restaurants. And Liverpool is
a fascinating city, fast emerging as one of the UK’s most stylish,
cultured and vibrant conference venues in the UK. So why not come and
enjoy some wonderful science in a truly magnificent city and see for
yourself what’s been going on behind the cranes and the hoardings these
past few years.
The scientific programme is an exciting and topical array of seven
world-class plenary speakers, 20 symposia and over 50 themed poster
sessions. For the first time, there are also workshops and a satellite
meeting, all FREE to registered delegates. With an equally exciting
range of peripheral events and social gatherings (yes, there’ll even be
a Magical Mystery Tour!) this will be a wonderful celebration of
neuroscience on UK soil. So please, please do pass this message on as
widely as possible as we warmly welcome non-members as well.
Registration fees start from as little as £100 (including refreshments
and lunches each day too), so why not consider supporting your national
society next year? You’d be very welcome! *(www.bna.org.uk/bna2009/
