Dear all
Slight change of plan for tomorrow's YNiC session. Apologies to all those who have read the paper but Maya Visser is visiting the department tomorrow and Beth has invited her to give a talk. She will present her work on "Social and emotional conceptual processing"
Looking forward to seeing many of you there.

Sorry all - Beth and I have just realised our wires were crossed over the date of Maya's visit. She will be visiting on the 24th of November.
So we will revert to the original plan of the COGs journal club on this paper Baram et al (2026) An abstract relational map emerges in the human medial prefrontal cortex with consolidation. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982226006731?via%3Dihub Current Biology
Looking forward to seeing you there! MaryAnn

Dear all,
Just a reminder that tomorrow will be a personal hack-a-thon like session at YNiC. If you have been putting off some analysis for too long then come and put your tuesday afternoon to good use with like-minded people. There is no formal talk scheduled, just you and the data!

Dear all,
Prof. Avital Hahamy https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/66561-avital-hahamy from UCL will be giving an external seminar at YNiC on *Tuesday 17th of November at 1-2pm*. Her work explores how the human brain processes and stores real-world information. She has developed exciting methods that use naturalistic experiences, like movies and stories, to understand real-world behaviours and studies associated brain activity in both neurotypical individuals and clinical populations.
The title of her talk is *"How the human brain understands and reconstructs unfolding experiences." *
All welcome and encouraged to attend. MaryAnn
