by Rebecca Lowndes 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

Hi all, Don't forget to come to YNiC for our seminar *this afternoon at 4pm *by external speaker Chris Neale, entitled *Your brain on grass: Environmental Psychology and the brain* Looking forward to seeing you all there! Becky ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Rebecca Lowndes <rebecca.lowndes(a)york.ac.uk> Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2023 at 11:13 Subject: YNiC seminar next Wednesday! To: All Staff and PhD Students <all-psyc-group(a)york.ac.uk> Hi all, We are very excited to be hosting an external speaker next Wednesday (29th) at 4pm in YNiC open plan. Chris Neale from the University of Huddersfield will be presenting a talk entitled: *Your brain on grass: Environmental Psychology and the brain* "Given the increasing levels of urbanisation coupled with our aging population, there is a need to understand how our urban spaces impact public health and wellbeing. Environmental psychology has provided numerous theories and research aiming to understand ways we can optimise our urban spaces. This has, more recently, extended into neuroscience; specifically addressing how urban forms impact brain activity in lab, virtual and real-world settings. This talk will explore some of these findings, including my own research, and look forward to what the future might hold!" If you are unable to attend the talk in person, you can catch it on zoom using the following link: https://york-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/96762553290?pwd=UEluT1lMd3V5azY5YzNmWkJCV1VTdz… <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://york-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/96762553290?pwd%3…> .

Alex Carter - Cogs - How do we see colour with two eyes
by Tom Hartley 22 Nov '23

22 Nov '23

Hi everyone, This is a reminder that this week (Friday lunchtime, 12.15, YNiC) we have our second "Cogs" meeting at YNiC when Alex Carter will be leading a session on "How do we see colour with two eyes? <https://uniofyork.padlet.org/tomhartley/cogs-7svj1mgvsc2jq2yp/wish/27753207…> " Cogs meetings are a new format that is designed to generate informal and lively discussion about topics that excite and inspire us. It's open to undergrads, academics, masters students, postdocs, research staff, PhD students, YNiC staff and basically anyone with an interest in cognitive neuroscience at the University of York. Coming up later this semester we also have Beth Jefferies who will lead a session on Spiral Waves in the Brain <https://uniofyork.padlet.org/tomhartley/cogs-7svj1mgvsc2jq2yp/wish/27644691…>. Now the eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that the regular timing conflicts with the psychology department's Christmas Carols/Lunch Social, so something will probably have to move. Watch this space for further announcements about the date/timing of the session. *discussion board: * *https://cogs.ynic.york.ac.uk/ <https://cogs.ynic.york.ac.uk/>* *email the organizers (Tom Hartley, Beth Jefferies) by email at cogs(a)ynic.york.ac.uk <cogs(a)ynic.york.ac.uk>*.
