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>*. See you all at Cogs!

"Cogs": YNiC's new Cognitive Neuroscience Discussion Group
by Tom Hartley 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

On Friday October 27th at 12:15 we are launching the “Cogs” discussion group at YNiC. Cogs runs alongside existing YNiC events and is intended to help build an inclusive research culture by welcoming people to the centre and talking about new and exciting ideas in cognitive neuroscience. This could include talking about recent papers or new tools, but beyond that we’re pretty open-minded, so the first meeting will be a chance to share your thoughts on the format and what we can do to make it work best for you. Cogs is open to everyone with an interest in cognitive neuroscience research, whether that’s undergraduates or masters students running projects at YNiC, PhD students, postdocs, academic staff and the YNiC team. This semester Cogs sessions will start at 12.15 on alternate weeks Semester 1, Week 5, October 27th 12.15 Inaugural welcome and discussion Further dates this semester - presenters/topics to be announced in due course (let us know if you want to present, now or in the future) Semester 1, Week 6, November 10th 12.15 Semester 1, Week 8, November 24th 12.15 Semester 1, Week 10, December 8th 12.15 This timetable will be reviewed at the end of the semester, so let us know if it works/doesn't work for you and we'll try to take that into account. Tom (YNiC Community Coordinator) & Beth (Co-Director, YNiC) Email cogs(a)ynic.york.ac.uk with your thoughts and suggestions for topics/presenters. ============ Dr Tom Hartley (Senior Lecturer) Dept. of Psychology, University of York, Heslington, York, YO10 5DD, UK +44 1904 322903 https://www-users.york.ac.uk/~th512 <http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~th512> https://www.york.ac.uk/psychology/staff/faculty/th512/ <http://www.york.ac.uk/psychology/staff/faculty/th512/>

YNiC Seminar next Wednesday!
by Rebecca Lowndes 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

Hi all, Dr Arianna Moccia will be presenting her talk entitled: *How do we select memories? Goal-states and consequences of the pre-retrieval control of episodic memory* We really hope to see everyone at YNiC! The talks will take place *next Wednesday (the 25th of October) at 4pm*. 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…> . Quick reminder that all our upcoming seminar talks are on our YNiC seminar calendar: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=Y19mZDNiNjNhY2Y4NzNiZDVkYzhhZD… We look forward to seeing you then! Becky Selective retrieval means picking specific memories out of many encoded traces to inform present actions. To do so, control processes need to act prior to the point of retrieval. Neuroimaging has shown that we can select memories in this way, but little is known about the factors and mechanisms that enable pre-retrieval selection in episodic memory. We tested this in a first set of electrophysiological studies. Results showed that internal control modified recollection-related ERPs – the left parietal old/new effects – when the external retrieval cues overlapped with targeted traces. Goal-related effects arising from comparing ERPs elicited by the new items also tracked cue overlap before recollection was complete, indicating that control was engaged prior to retrieval. But how is selection achieved during retrieval? Using multivariate pattern analysis in these two datasets, we showed that study phase neural patterns matching the current retrieval goal were reinstated before the retrieval cues were presented, indicating that study context was reinstated in preparation to retrieve targeted information. A final study using fMRI to investigate selective retrieval in the brain showed that internal goals alone modified activation and neural representations of task-relevant features in content-specific regions. Goal- directed preparatory reinstatement of study context was detected in both domain-general control regions and content-specific regions. However, while activation in domain general areas predicted subsequent memory performance, goal-directed reinstatement did not do so significantly, suggesting that further, generic control mechanisms may support readiness to remember sought-for episodic information. -- Rebecca Lowndes Research Technician York Neuroimaging Centre
