Thank you in advance. Erica ---- Dear Colleagues, Please join us on Monday, January 23 at 2:30pm EST for an Innovators in Cognitive Neuroscience seminar given by Dr. Leyla Isik , Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University (Zoom Link ). Her talk is titled ?The neural computations underlying real-world social interaction recognition? and will be interpreted in ASL. Please see the abstract below for more information. Immediately following the talk at 3:30pm EST, there will be a Q&A session for trainees, graduate students, and postdocs (Zoom link ). This will be a ?Growing up in science? style Q&A so please come with any questions you have for Dr. Isik, science or otherwise! Abstract: Humans perceive the world in rich social detail. We effortlessly recognize not only objects and people in our environment, but also social interactions between people. The ability to perceive and understand social interactions is critical for functioning in our social world. We recently identified a brain region that selectively represents others? social interactions in the posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) in a manner that is distinct from other visual and social processes, like face recognition and theory of mind. However, it is unclear how social interactions are processed in the real world where they co-vary with many other sensory and social features. In the first part of my talk, I will discuss new work using naturalistic movie fMRI paradigms and novel machine learning analyses to understand how humans process social interactions in real-world settings. We find that social interactions and are selectively processed in the pSTS, even after controlling for the effects of other co-varying perceptual and social information, including faces, voices, and theory of mind. In the second part of my talk, I will discuss the computational implications of social interaction selectivity in the brain, and present a novel graph neural network model, SocialGNN, that instantiates these insights. SocialGNN reproduces human social interaction judgements in both controlled and natural videos using only visual information, without any explicit model of agents? minds or the physical world, but requires relational, graph structure and processing to do so. Together, this work suggests that social interaction recognition is a core human ability that relies on specialized, structured visual representations. We hope you will join us!

That is, in addition to theoretical ML lectures, it will have lectures on the application of ML in various SDGs areas. * OxML 2023 will have two separate 4-day schools: (1) ML x Finance, and (2) ML x Health. * To provide all participants with the necessary background in fundamental theory and implementation and coding of ML/DL models, our 2023 program will also have two additional modules: MLx Fundamentals, and MLx Cases (more info on the website). They will take place online, during May and June 2023, and are open to all accepted participants. * The schools will take place in the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford and online. * We aim to host ~250 participants in person (plus 300 virtually) in each school. * You can find out more about the previous schools ? including the previous speakers ? here. The schools' theoretical tutorials on modern ML (including DL) will cover topics such as: * Neural networks, deep learning / representation learning (with, with little, or without supervision), ... * Statistical/probabilistic ML (e.g., Bayesian ML, causal ML, variational inference, Bayesian neural networks) * NLP, computer vision, and multi-modal representation learning * ... On the applied side, the school will cover topics such as: * MLx Health: The applications of ML in imaging, genomics, electronic health records (EHR), drug discovery, ... * MLx Finance: The applications of ML in investment and asset mgmt., banking, insurance and emerging risks , hedging and options trading, ? Important note Given the overwhelming number of applications we receive, the application portal may close earlier than the deadline (March 27th) if the number of applications exceeds our capacity to review. Furthermore, we already began the review process in January, which will lead to notifications of acceptance being sent gradually, as we go applications. Please make sure you apply ASAP, to avoid disappointment.

(Zoom link ). This talk will be interpreted in ASL. Please see below for more information. A Q&A session for trainees, graduate students, and postdocs will immediately follow the talk at 3:30pm EST (Zoom link ). This will be a ?growing up in science? style Q&A so please come with any questions you have for Dr. Rungratsameetaweemana, science or otherwise! Abstract: An ability to use acquired knowledge to guide optimal behavior as the sensory environments change over time is a hallmark of natural intelligence. It is not well understood how adaptive learning is achieved in the brain and what aspects of this process are disrupted in disorders. In this talk, I will go over how I use a blend of computational techniques with a range of neural recordings to examine adaptive learning across different scales of investigations. We hope you will join us! If you would like to nominate a speaker (early career or senior), please fill in this form . Sincerely, Erica Busch Sheri Choi Sam McDougle On behalf of the Innovators in Cognitive Neuroscience Organizing Committee More information about the talk series: The Innovators in Cognitive Neuroscience talk series is launched by the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Dartmouth. This seminar series is devoted to highlighting innovative advances in cognitive neuroscience. The seminar series also is dedicated to leveraging science as a vehicle for social justice.

Additional information below. Please share this email with any excellent graduate students or postdocs who are interested in pursuing a career as an Image Scientist. Thank you! Jennifer Jennifer C. Waters | Director of the Nikon Imaging Center & Lecturer in Cell Biology | Harvard Medical School The Nikon Imaging Center at Harvard Medical School (NIC at HMS) is seeking candidates for a 2-3 year (renewable annually) post-doctoral training fellowship in advanced optical microscopy techniques and core facility management. Optical microscopy has become central to progress in many areas of science. At the same time, the complexity of instruments and quantitative imaging experiments has dramatically increased, with many requiring extensive expertise to operate. Microscopy facilities managed by PhD-level scientists who advise and train researchers on imaging experimental design, the best instruments to use for their experiments, and proper use of instruments have become essential sources of expertise in many research institutions, and core facility management has become a stimulating career path for scientists with experience in advanced quantitative microscopy techniques and an interest in facilitating science broadly. The NIC at HMS Fellow will learn advanced quantitative microscopy techniques including confocal, TIRF, FRET, FRAP, photo-activation, single-molecule imaging, light sheet and super-resolution microscopy, and key skills needed to manage a large, heavily-used core facility. The Fellow will learn to train core facility users to select and apply the appropriate techniques, using a wide range of biological specimens and experimental approaches. The Fellow will also have the opportunity to identify additional responsibilities that match her/his interests, such as: organizing and teaching microscopy courses in the NIC at HMS Educational Program; organizing microscopy discussion groups/journal clubs; troubleshooting equipment problems; developing protocols for testing equipment performance; designing and/or implementing novel or custom imaging techniques. We are seeking candidates with optical microscopy experience, a PhD in biology, physics, or a related discipline, and interest in a career in optical microscopy. Start date is flexible. For more information and to apply, please visit microfellows.hms.harvard.edu. Applications will be considered as they are received, but should be submitted no later than April 6, 2023. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In this talk, I will show that the connection between neuroscience and AI can be fruitful in both directions. Towards ?AI driving neuroscience?, I will discuss recent advances in self-supervised learning with deep recurrent networks that yield a developmentally-plausible model of the primate visual system. In the direction of ?neuroscience guiding AI?, I will present a novel cognitively-grounded computational theory of perception that generates powerful new learning algorithms for real-world scene understanding. Taken together, these ideas illustrate how neural networks optimized to solve cognitively-informed tasks provide a unified framework for both understanding the brain and improving AI. In-Person seminars will be held at Mason Lab 211 with optional remote access: (https://yale.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Sessions/List.aspx?folderID=f8b73c34-a27b-42a7-a073-af2d00f90ffa) 3:30pm ?

Her talk is titled ?Neural Mechanisms of Conscious Visual Perception? and will be interpreted in ASL. Please see the abstract below for more information. Immediately following the talk at 3:30pm EST, there will be a Q&A session for trainees, graduate students, and postdocs (Zoom link ). This will be a ?Growing up in science? style Q&A so please come with any questions you have for Dr. He, science or otherwise! Abstract: Despite intense interests and research over the past three decades, the neural mechanisms of conscious visual perception remain a mystery. In this talk, I will give an overview of our recent work tackling this fundamental question. Using a combination of high temporal resolution and high spatial resolution techniques to record from the human brain, and employing multiple perceptual paradigms, we have found that: I) Conscious perception likely requires the coordination of large-scale brain dynamics across multiple brain networks, including both content-specific cortical activity and non-content-specific subcortical activity. II) The preexisting brain state, including both the connectivity patterns reflecting past experiences and the moment-to-moment spontaneous activity fluctuations, strongly shapes conscious perception. In addition, I will discuss the implications of these findings for theories of conscious perception. We hope you will join us! If you would like to nominate a speaker (early career or senior), please fill in this form . Sincerely, Erica Busch Sheri Choi Sam McDougle On behalf of the Innovators in Cognitive Neuroscience Organizing Committee More information about the talk series: The Innovators in Cognitive Neuroscience talk series is launched by the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Dartmouth.

[Graphical user interface, text, application Description automatically generated] FDS Seminar ?Process models of complex mental computation? Speaker: Wei Ji Ma Center for Neural Science New York University When: Wednesday, May 3rd, 4pm ET Location: Mason Lab 211 (9 Hillhouse Avenue) or remotely via Panopto. Abstract: Computational cognitive models commit to a sequence of steps in which an observer/agent mentally processes information leading up to a behavioral response. Typically, both the model parameters and the model structure must be inferred solely from stimulus-response pairs. For more complex mental computations, these inferences tend to be more challenging, yet potentially yield greater insights. I will illustrate this using two examples from disparate domains. In the first study, we test whether people perform unconscious Bayesian inference in visual search, specifically, whether they marginalize over nuisance variables. In the second study, we model human planning in a two-player board game using a ?humanized? variant of best-first search. I will describe the methodological challenges associated with unbiased estimation of log likelihoods and with parameter fitting, and our proposed solutions.

Abstract: Computational cognitive models commit to a sequence of steps in which an observer/agent mentally processes information leading up to a behavioral response. Typically, both the model parameters and the model structure must be inferred solely from stimulus-response pairs. For more complex mental computations, these inferences tend to be more challenging, yet potentially yield greater insights. I will illustrate this using two examples from disparate domains. In the first study, we test whether people perform unconscious Bayesian inference in visual search, specifically, whether they marginalize over nuisance variables. In the second study, we model human planning in a two-player board game using a ?humanized? variant of best-first search. I will describe the methodological challenges associated with unbiased estimation of log likelihoods and with parameter fitting, and our proposed solutions.

Kelley Kelley Remole, PhD, MS Managing Director Wu Tsai Institute, Yale University kelley.remole at yale.edu O: 203-432-8863 C: 917-254-2992 From: Misha Sem?nov-Leiva misha.semenov at yale.edu Cc: Kassandra Sem?nov-Leiva kassandra.leiva at aya.yale.edu Subject: Re: Architectural Ornament & Neuroscience We are looking for neuroscience researchers who can collaborate with us on enhancing coursework and research for ARCH 306, "Ornamenting Architecture: Cosmos, Nature, Neuroaesthetics," a new course at the Yale School of Architecture. In the course, we propose to pair a study of architectural ornament of the past with a deep dive into biometrics and the ways in which our neurological/physiological responses to ornament can be quantified, assessed, and related back to the structure of our visual processing system. We want our students to: a) understand what ornament on the buildings they analyze is doing to our perceptual systems and how exactly its presence changes the way we look at a building b) use biometric tools (such as eye tracking) in analyzing their own ornament designs, in models or virtual reality As one crude example of the ways in which ornament transforms the perception of a structure, consider the Getty Tomb by designer Louis Sullivan, in its beautiful ornamented state versus with the ornament removed: [cid:image001.png at 01D98810.45E24010] We would love to collaborate with a researcher at Yale who could help us analyze examples like the one above using relevant biometrics methods. On a most basic level, eye tracking both these photographs and comparing the results would start to show us how the ornament is guiding the fixations and saccades of the eye. If reasonable within the scope of the course and capabilities available to the researcher, we would also love to compare EEG, fMRI, facial expressions, and other relevant metrics as well. On an even more advanced level, we could have the students create 3D VR models of ornament and then look at the responses of subjects immersed in a VR environment. Our working hypothesis for the class is that ornament, by providing secondary levels of fractals and centers within a larger structure, makes buildings more easily legible and mentally stimulating/engaging (ie, the eye moves more quickly to important elements, such as the building entrance, and fixates longer on the building than it would on an unornamented box), allowing designers to direct attention in targeted ways. We also hypothesize that fractal ornament on a building reduces stress responses and has a calming effect. These are all things we would love to test, to the extent possible, with neuroimaging equipment. We have taught a less neuroscience-focused version of this class before at the University of Hartford, and we used 3M's Visual Attention Software. While we may end up using this tool again because it allows for quick, unlimited iteration, we are hoping that through our collaboration with Yale researchers we can have the students actually do at least a few live eye tracking and/or other biometrics experiments themselves.

Could you please help me to spread the word? Thank you, Helen. [cid:image001.png at 01D98FE1.76FD8500] [cid:image002.jpg at 01D98FE1.76FD8500] A practical introduction into Dynamic Causal Modeling Dr. Peter Zeidman, Ph.D., Chair of the Methods Group at the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging at University College of London. He is a developer of SPM, the open source software package for analyzing neuroimaging data. He focuses on Bayesian analysis methods, including Dynamic Causal Modeling (DCM) - a technology which lets people investigate dynamic properties of brain circuitry. All of our cognitive functions depend on regions of the brain interacting with one another ? their ?effective connectivity?. Neurological and psychiatric disorders can be understood in terms of disruption to this effective connectivity. This 3-part series focusses on how to characterize people?s neuronal responses and effective connectivity using fMRI, and how to test for changes in these measures due to a diagnosis, a treatment, or behavioural / clinical measures. June 1, 12 -1pm Kangjoo Lee, PhD, Yale psychiatry, join via this link In the first session, we will give an overview of functional localization ? identifying where in the brain neural activity occurs. We will focus on the General Linear Model (GLM), in conjunction with a simple auditory task fMRI experiment. June 8, 12 -1pm Peter Zeidman, PhD, University College of London, join via this link In the second session, we will introduce dynamic causal modelling (DCM), a framework for inferring the dynamic interactions among brain regions. June 15, 12 -1pm Peter Zeidman, PhD, University College of London The third session will be a practical workshop, where we will illustrate applying the GLM and DCM to investigate individual differences in effective connectivity. All analyses will be illustrated using the open source Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) software package (https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/software/download/), which is a toolbox for MATLAB. Nevertheless, many of the principles we will cover are common across analysis packages. Note: ? Participation in the third session is by invitations only (contact helen.pushkarskaya at yale.edu). ? Recordings will be posted online at https://medicine.yale.edu/psychiatry/education/map/ . ? All tutorial participants will offer additional follow up practical tutorials during the following weeks. Please sign up for these tutorials or invite instructors to your research group here.

I hope you are all doing well. I?m writing to ask for your help in advertising an opening for assistant professor level faculty positions at Northwestern, including in my own department, Neurobiology. This is part of the NIH FIRST program, and Northwestern?s local program is NURTURE: Northwestern University Recruitment to Transform Under-Representation and achieve Equity. https://nurture.northwestern.edu/open-positions/faculty.html Through this program, Northwestern will be recruiting 11 new faculty (four were hired last year and the total will be 15) into three "Scientific Neighborhoods (clusters) ? cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic health, and brain, mind, and behavior." My department is of course eager to recruit outstanding young faculty into the latter neuroscience-related area. the application deadline is soon, however, October 31, 2023. Just to add a little bit of context about the Department of Neurobiology: https://neurobiology.northwestern.edu/ Our science in the Department is highly varied, but we are all united in a fundamental interest in the biology of the organism? we keep natural behaviors in mind, whatever level of analysis we apply in our research, and we are interested in people working on a wide range of experimental organisms. From a technical standpoint, our recent hiring interests have been in approaches using large-scale datasets to tackle physiological, theoretical, and genetic questions? we just hired in the areas of theory and physiology and are especially interested in anyone doing genetic/genomic neurobiology, but we are also wide open to finding someone excellent, who would like this type of environment for their science. About that environment: The department is housed in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, still somewhat unusual for a neuro department.That means we run laboratories and do science just like in a medical school, but we also teach undergraduates? we have a thriving major of 400 students, which is also one of the (possibly the) most diverse STEM majors at Northwestern. Since we teach 1.5 quarter-long courses per year, we have a guaranteed 9-month salary and we pay our summer salary from the NIH (or other) grants that support our research program. I offer this information because having teaching rolled in with research forms an important part of our departmental culture? we take teaching and communication seriously. Teaching undergraduates is a way to give back, to serve as a role model, to inspire young people, to keep your own thinking broad and extending beyond your own research expertise, and to have a sense of agency that is not always present in all kinds of institutions. Being in a college of arts and sciences also provides opportunities to interact with the range of departments found in colleges: e.g., physics, chemistry, molecular biology, psychology (some of us have even collaborated with earth sciences, anthropology, and English!), in addition to all the engineering departments in the engineering school. We also collaborate with med school colleagues. Anyway, that is just an informal overview. If you know of any candidates who might be interested in applying, I would appreciate it if you would please let them know about this opportunity. And if they would like to learn more about our department, please feel free to put them in touch with me directly. In any case, I'll be grateful for any help you an offer in getting the word out to the great candidates that are out there! Thanks. Sincerely, Indira --- Indira M.

You can find her bio at the end of this email. This event is organized by the Yale Neuroscience Postdoc Committee (YNPC), a group of fantastic postdocs and ARS affiliated with the Department of Neuroscience, and is sponsored by the Kavli Institute for Neuroscience at Yale. When: Wednesday, September 20th, 1-2 pm Where: BCMM 206/208 Talk title: A Journey in Imaging Neurons and Glia in the Intact Brain Talk synopsis: In vivo two-photon imaging illuminates the beauty of the cellular components of the brain while also highlighting their dynamics at many different spatiotemporal scales. In this talk, Dr. Majewska will discuss the arc of her research using imaging techniques to understand glia-neuron interactions while highlighting the mentors and trainees that made the work possible and, more importantly, enjoyable. Coffee and snacks will be served after the seminar. Everyone is invited to join the talk and the coffee break. We hope to see you there, Best, Pauline Bio: Ania Majewska, PhD holds a Dean?s Professorship in Neuroscience with a joint appointment in the Center for Visual Science. Dr. Majewska is also co-Director of the University of Rochester Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center. She is deeply committed to mentoring and directed the Neuroscience Graduate Program from 2012-2020. She was also awarded the 2022 Landis Award for Outstanding Mentoring by an NINDS investigator. Dr. Majewska?s work examines the interactions between microglia, the brain?s immune cells, and neuronal networks in development, adulthood, aging and disease. In 2010, the lab showed that microglia, which were largely thought to be inert until activated by pathological stimuli, dynamically interacted with neuronal elements even in the absence of pathology. Since then the lab has imaged these dynamic interactions between microglial processes and synaptic structures and shown that microglia are important participants in normal brain function, contributing to processes such as experience-dependent plasticity which underlies proper wiring of the brain. More recently, the lab has examined how microglial roles at synapses contribute to deficits that arise in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Dr. Majewska grew up in Poland and Kuwait, where she completed much of her secondary education. She moved to the United States for college and completed a BS in Biology and Chemistry and an MS in Neuroscience at Stanford University. Her PhD work at Columbia University under the guidance of Dr. Rafael Yuste explored the efflux pathways controlling synaptic calcium signals using two-photon microscopy. She continued to use imaging tools to explore synaptic changes that underlie experience-dependent plasticity in her postdoctoral work at MIT with Dr. Mriganka Sur. She is excited to continue using optical techniques to examine brain plasticity in development, adulthood and aging. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Dana Foundation is accepting applications for Professional Development Awards for trainees interested in opportunities in neuroscience and society. Applicants may request up to 5,000 USD in funding to support professional development in neuroscience and society. The funds could be used to support the following (note that these are examples and not an exhaustive list): ? Attending an interdisciplinary conference or workshop in neuroscience and society. ? Neuroscience and society coursework. ? Neuroscience and society research. ? Other activities that further the goal and objectives of the Dana NextGen program. The opportunity must be interdisciplinary in nature. That is, it must include the field of neuroscience AND another field outside of the natural sciences or engineering. This can include, but is not limited to, ethics, law, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, social sciences, public health, arts, and the humanities. The Foundation will not fund projects that focus on a purely neuroscience topic that may have potential impacts on society. For instance, we will not fund neuroscience research that may lead to a new treatment for a brain-based condition that would then be beneficial to society. Nor will we fund a neuroscience course that is not interdisciplinary according to our definition above. To be eligible for a Professional Development Award, you must be: ? Currently affiliated with an academic or non-profit institution in the United States. ? Currently enrolled or engaged in a training program (undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, graduate, post-doctoral). If you have any questions related to the Professional Development Awards, please email idasgupta at dana.org. The deadline for submissions is Oct. 16, 2023 at 11:59PM ET.

The filmmakers will be present to discuss and answer questions about their work. All are welcome. "See Memory" (18 min) a film by Viviane Silvera, Oct. 12, 6:30pm, L02, HQ A stop motion film made out of 10,000 painting stills. The film explores how our memories define who we are, how we remember, and the inextricable link between memory and imagination.." "Secondary Dominance" (90 min) a film by Sarah Small & Wade McCollum, Oct. 17th, 6:30pm Loria Center, Room 250 A hybrid biographical expression / auto-fiction documentary / long-form music video that explores trauma's cellular imprint from a place where art and science intersect. A neuroscientist invites artist, Sarah Small, to speak at a conference on PTSD, trauma, and the brain. During her talk, she reads a letter she wrote to her childhood sexual abuser, igniting a dance-and-music-centric journey into her psychological landscape, illustrating the non-linearity of memory and transformation. *Please note: the content in this film includes references to sexual abuse.

Location: 100 College Street, Room 1167 About the Speaker: Professor Carolina Sartorio, a distinguished philosopher with a PhD from MIT and a BA from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is currently affiliated with Rutgers University. Her expertise spans across metaphysics, the philosophy of action, and ethics. To delve deeper into Professor Sartorio?s academic journey and works, please visit her personal webpage. Talk Abstract: I outline a view of free will in terms of the actual causes of our actions. I motivate the view as a natural extension of the widely accepted causalist conception of action. I also explain the difference between this view and the "classical" model of free will in terms of alternative possibilities.

Talk Title: "Causalism about Free Will" ? Date: Wed, October 25th, 2023 ? Time: 12:30 - 1:30 PM ? Location: 100 College Street, Room 1167 About the Speaker: Professor Carolina Sartorio, a distinguished philosopher with a PhD from MIT and a BA from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is currently affiliated with Rutgers University. Her expertise spans across metaphysics, the philosophy of action, and ethics. To delve deeper into Professor Sartorio?s academic journey and works, please visit her personal webpage. Talk Abstract: I outline a view of free will in terms of the actual causes of our actions. I motivate the view as a natural extension of the widely accepted causalist conception of action. I also explain the difference between this view and the "classical" model of free will in terms of alternative possibilities.
