YNiC seminar 27th October

Dear Users This Thursday (4.15-5.15 pm in YNiC) I will be giving a talk on ""Representations of the temporal envelope of sounds in human auditory cortex: Comparing results from non-invasive MEG "virtual electrodes" and invasive intracortical electrode recordings". Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique that provides direct measurements of neural activity with a millisecond temporal resolution. An important application of MEG "virtual electrode" analyses is linking non-invasive MEG measurements and invasive electrophysiological recordings in animals (e.g. Zumer et al., 2010) and humans (e.g. Hall et al., 2005; Dalal et al., 2008, 2009). In this talk I will present results from a study that used non-invasive MEG "virtual electrodes" to try to replicate the results from an invasive intracortical electrode study (Nourski et al., 2009) on the mechanisms for encoding the temporal envelope of speech in human auditory cortex. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided after the talk. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.
