YNiC seminar 27th January
by rem 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

Dear Users This week (4.30-5.30 pm YNiC open plan) Ed Silson will give a project proposal presentation on "Functional Properties of LO-1 and LO-2 in human Lateral Occipital cortex" Summary: The Lateral Occipital (LO) cortex is known to be an object-selective brain region. Although originally thought not to contain a retinotopic organisation, recent evidence suggests that LO contains two adjacent representations of the contralateral visual field, referred to as LO-1 and LO-2 (Larson & Heeger, 2006). Larson and Heeger (2006) suggested that LO-1 and LO-2 might have different functional properties and that both contribute to object recognition. We aim to use functionally-guided TMS to probe the functional properties of LO-1 and LO-2. Everyone is welcome to attend.

[Fwd: Open post-doctoral position]
by Gary Green 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

FYI ------------------------------- Post-Doctoral Position A two-year post-doctoral position is open at the Neuroscience Center of University of Helsinki (Finland) in a project exploring the functional roles of cortical oscillations with M/EEG. The applicant will acquire M/EEG, MRI, and possibly fMRI data and perform M/EEG time series and source localization analyses within a state-of-the-art neuroinformatics platform. The main focus of the project is in the mapping and network analyses of within- and cross-frequency neuronal interactions in source-reconstructed M/EEG data (Palva et al., 2010, PNAS, NeuroImage) with published and novel approaches. The successful applicant has experience in planning and performing MEG/EEG experiments and in applying advanced data-analysis methods. The applicant should also have a track record in human neuroimaging literature. Applications are invited from ambitious, enthusiastic, and highly committed young researchers. Prerequisites include: Prior experience in the MEG/EEG field and PhD or an equivalent degree in Neuroscience, Psychology, Medical Engineering, or another related field. Programming skills (Matlab, LabVIEW) are an advantage. The application for the position should contain a 1-2 page letter of intent, CV, list of publications, and the names of at least two senior researchers who can recommend the applicant. Inquiries and applications should be sent by email to Satu Palva (satu.palva(a)helsinki.fi <mailto:satu.palva@helsinki.fi>). Satu Palva, PhD Neuroscience Center P.O.

YNiC seminar today
by rem 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Dear Users Today (4.30-5.30 pm YNiC open plan) Andy Ellis will give a talk on "Semantically-driven re-activation of visual cortex in object recognition?". Summary: Magnetoencephalography was used to probe the nature and time course of responses to early and late acquired objects in a covert naming task. Analysis focused on regions in left occipital and anterior temporal cortex that have been reported to show stronger responses to early than late acquired objects in fMRI. An evoked response in visual cortex around 170 ms was followed by an evoked response in anterior temporal cortex (150-250 ms) that was stronger to early than late acquired objects. This was followed by an induced re-activation of visual cortex from 250 ms onwards that was also modulated by age of acquisition. The talk will illustrate one way of making statistical comparisons across experimental conditions in MEG. Everyone is welcome to attend.

change in start time of YNiC seminars
by rem 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Dear Users Please be aware that, as of this week, YNiC Thursday seminars will start at the later time of *4.30 pm*. This shift in the starting time is necessary to avoid a clash with teaching sessions in Psychology. Thank you Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

YNiC seminar today
by rem 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Dear Users Today (4-5 pm YNiC open plan) Chris Racey will give a project proposal talk on "Processing of real world objects in object selective cortex: effects of parametric manipulation of size change". Summary: The visual system is able to perform recognition tasks in a manner that appears to be invariant to changes in size of the retinal image. It is thought that this size invariance is established early on in visual processing (Goodale & Milner, 1992; Rolls, 2000). The aim of the present study is to measure adaptation to objects of changing size across the whole visual system and across several size change conditions which vary parametrically. The design of the present experiment will be an fMR-adaptation paradigm similar to that used in our previous work looking at viewpoint invariance (Racey et al., 2010). We aim to measure differences in size invariance for objects between the various category selective brain regions at the level of the Ventral Occipito-Temporal cortex (VOT). Further, we aim to measure the change in size invariance moving posterior to anterior through the visual processing hierarchy. Everyone is welcome to attend. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

YNiC Security code change
by Jo Saunders 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

The security access code for YNiC has been changed today. So if any user has a set of access door keys for YNiC, and hasn't already been advised of the new access code, then could they please contact myself or another member of YNiC staff. This change has no impact on the door fobs which should continue to work as before. Many thanks, Jo. -- ............................
