Jodie Davies-Thompson will give a talk at 4 pm in YNiC open plan on "The localization and functional connectivity of face-selective regions in the human brain".
Abstract: "This talk will outline a new method for localizing face-selective regions of interest. Face-selective regions are typically defined by contrasting the response to a face with the response to a control stimulus. However, many different control stimuli are possible. So, the choice of control stimulus could influence the location and extent of the face-selective regions. Our aim was to define face-selective regions in visual and non-visual regions of the brain using a localiser paradigm that minimises potential confounds . Finally, we have developed a method for showing the functional connectivity between face-selective regions."
Everyone is welcome to attend.
