YNiC seminar 7th July

Dear Users This Thursday (4-5 pm) there will be a project proposal presentation given by Rich Harris. The title of Rich's talk is "The neural representation of perceived changes in facial expression". Please see below for the talk abstract. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided. Best wishes Rebecca Abstract: How the brain represents different aspects of faces remains controversial. This experiment will present participants with stimuli drawn from morphed continua between two different emotional facial expressions. In paired presentations, a second face could: (1) be identical to the first; (2) share the perceived expression category but differ physically along the morphed continuum (within-expression change); (3) differ physically by the same distance along the continuum but in a direction that leads participants to classify the face pairs as showing expressions of different basic emotions (between-expression change). Using an fMR-adaptation paradigm, our aim is to reveal regions of the brain whose activity corresponds to our sensitivity to changes in facial expression. -- Dr. Rebecca E.
