Dear all,
Our next YNiC event will be dedicated to the Cog Neuro ECRs. This will be a 1 -hour social for PhD students in Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging and MSc students in Cognitive Neuroscience. Our hope is it will give students on these pathways an opportunity to get to know each other better across the cohort years, building knowledge and ultimately opening up the possibility of collaboration and academic peer support.
*Note the new time of 2-3pm. *
The plan:
10 minute brief presentation about neuroscience-related things, e.g., BRAIN, any YNiC sessions (e.g., COGS, etc) + who to expect to see (PhD wise) across the year in MSc modules.
40 min nerdy fun and games?
- neuro-bingo (20 mins): as a team (of PhD and MSc students mixed) come up with 25 neuroscience related words, then we will put all key words in a hat and play bingo and first to a straight line of 5 vertically, horizontally or diagonally wins - an exercise in integrating your visual and motor cortices (20 mins): in the same groups, one person from each group is shown a picture for 30 secs and tries to remember the image, and then the group works together to recreate the picture, another person in the group is shown the image for 30 secs, repeat and best recreation wins
5 min round up
I hope as many of you can come as possible.
MaryAnn
