[WTI-trainee] [ICN] Talk announcement: Dr. Biyu He, Monday 4/24 at 2:30pm

[Innovators in Cognitive Neuroscience Yale]

Hi everyone,

This is a reminder to please join us for the next ICN seminar tomorrow 4/24 at 2:30pm given by Dr. Biyu He [zoom link <https://dartmouth.zoom.us/j/98082920699?pwd=aDA5MkdRUkdmNHcwZ0VobXUwdng1QT09>]. Her talk is titled “Neural Mechanisms of Conscious Visual Perception”; more information about her talk is attached below. Immediately following the talk at 3:30pm will be a Q&A session for trainees [zoom link <https://yale.zoom.us/j/99128498686>]. 

Sincerely, 
Erica Busch
Sheri Choi 
Sam McDougle 

On behalf of the Innovators in Cognitive Neuroscience organizing committee

Her talk is titled “Neural Mechanisms of Conscious Visual Perception” and will be interpreted in ASL. Please see the abstract below for more information.

> 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.

> The Innovators in Cognitive Neuroscience <https://innovatorsincogneuro.github.io/> talk series is launched by the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience <https://www.dartmouth.edu/ccn/> 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. Through this seminar series we hope to recognize outstanding research conducted by historically underrepresented groups (HURG) in Cognitive Neuroscience and related fields, including women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and individuals with disabilities. Innovators in Cognitive Neuroscience is a collaboration between Dartmouth College, University of Pennsylvania, Gallaudet University, Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Harvard University, and Columbia University. It is funded by the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Dartmouth College.
