Dear Users
This week (4.30-5.30 pm in YNiC) there will be a talk on "Demonstrating
functional connectivity between brain regions using MEG" given by
myself, Muriel Lobier and Andy Ellis.
This talk will take the form of a journal club to discuss connectivity
measures in MEG in the context of a paper by Alex Clarke, Kirsten Taylor
and Lorraine Tyler [Clarke, A., Taylor, KI and Tyler, LK. (in press).
The evolution of meaning: Spatio-temporal dynamics of visual object
recognition. J. Cogn. Neurosci. ].
The paper can be downloaded from Lorraine Tyler's website:

Everyone is welcome to attend.
Best wishes

Dear Users
Today (4.30-5.30 pm) there will be a YNiC project proposal presentation
by Lilia Psalta. The title of Lilia's talk is "Neural correlates of the
Thatcher Illusion".
Summary:
The Thatcher illusion is a phenomenon where it becomes difficult to detect
local feature changes in an upside down face, despite identical changes
being
obvious in an upright face. The illusion was named after the former
British Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher on whose photograph the effect has been most
famously demonstrated (Thompson, 1980). The aim of this proposal is to use
the Thatcher Illusion to explore how information about the identity,
expression
and attractiveness of faces is represented in the brain.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
Best wishes
Rebecca
