FYI ---------------------- Fully funded 3 year Studentship School of Psychology, Bangor University Supervisor: Prof Paul Downing Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship in the School of Psychology, Bangor University. This studentship is fully funded by the Wales ESRC Doctoral Training Centre and the School. It will be under the supervision of Prof Paul Downing and Prof Kim Graham, Cardiff University. The studentship is available from October 1st 2013 (or as soon as possible thereafter). The studentship includes payment of UK / EU level tuition fees, a maintenance allowance of approximately £13,590 and an annual research allowance of £750 p.a. Project Description The studentship will focus on using functional MRI to develop our understanding of how representations in extrastriate cortex and the medial temporal lobes (MTL) support perception, and memory, for socially-relevant information. For example, what types of perceptual representations are stored within these different brain regions? How do MTL and extrastriate areas differ in their degree of domain-selectivity across categories? What is the role of similarity in driving recruitment of these representations? These themes are core to an ongoing BBSRC-funded project led by Graham and Downing, experts in memory and perception (respectively).

Dear Users Today (starting 4.30 pm in YNiC open plan) there will 2 project proposal presentations: 1) Markus van Ackeren "Integrating multimodal semantic knowledge through language: An MEG study" Abstract: Research from the past decade has shown that retrieving semantic knowledge about objects in our environment engages a widely distributed cortical network. For example, understanding words denoting visual information (green, round) engages visual cortical areas. In contrast, understanding words denoting auditory information (crunching) recruits auditory regions. So far, a plethora of studies have investigated words that are strongly associated with a single modality. However, semantic knowledge about most objects in the world is inherently multimodal. For example, even a single word like /apple /is associated with visual (green, round), auditory (crunchy), haptic (smooth, sticky), and gustatory (sweet) properties. In my research I aim to understand how the brain orchestrates the simultaneous retrieval of multimodal semantic knowledge. I will present behavioural and EEG findings showing that a) there is a processing cost to integrating information from multiple modalities, and b) multimodal integration is accompanied by local power changes in a low frequency band (4-8 Hz). In the current project, I would like to employ MEG to be able to pinpoint the neural generators of the theta power modulation during multimodal integration, and to investigate interactions between multimodal and unimodal areas in the brain. 2) Samantha Strong "The Functional Sub-Divisions of the Human Motion Sensitive Visual Cortex: An fMRI Guided TMS Study" Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided afterwards.

UCAS Open Day - Wednesday 6th Feb
by Michael Simpson 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Dear all, between 13.15 and 13.45 there will be a large number of UCAS students and their associated relatives and friends in YNiC Open Plan. Hence, it may not be the most conducive atmosphere for a lab meeting at this time. Similar numbers to last week are anticipated, 30 students plus guests. You are more than welcome to be around and chat to the relatives and friends whilst the students have a tour of the scanners. However, if you are planning to work in Open Plan during this time, please can you chose a workstation towards the back wall of Open Plan rather than near the projection wall. Many thanks, Michael -- Dr Michael Simpson Science Liaison Officer York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk

YNiC seminar 7th February

04 Feb '13

Dear Users This Thursday (starting 4.30 pm in YNiC open plan) there will 2 project proposal presentations: 1) Markus van Ackeren "Integrating multimodal semantic knowledge through language: An MEG study" Abstract: Research from the past decade has shown that retrieving semantic knowledge about objects in our environment engages a widely distributed cortical network. For example, understanding words denoting visual information (green, round) engages visual cortical areas. In contrast, understanding words denoting auditory information (crunching) recruits auditory regions. So far, a plethora of studies have investigated words that are strongly associated with a single modality. However, semantic knowledge about most objects in the world is inherently multimodal. For example, even a single word like /apple /is associated with visual (green, round), auditory (crunchy), haptic (smooth, sticky), and gustatory (sweet) properties. In my research I aim to understand how the brain orchestrates the simultaneous retrieval of multimodal semantic knowledge. I will present behavioural and EEG findings showing that a) there is a processing cost to integrating information from multiple modalities, and b) multimodal integration is accompanied by local power changes in a low frequency band (4-8 Hz). In the current project, I would like to employ MEG to be able to pinpoint the neural generators of the theta power modulation during multimodal integration, and to investigate interactions between multimodal and unimodal areas in the brain. 2) Samantha Strong "The Functional Sub-Divisions of the Human Motion Sensitive Visual Cortex: An fMRI Guided TMS Study" Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided afterwards.
