We are excited to continue our virtual Mind Meeting Seminar Series in 2026. This event will feature presentations by excellent researchers from around the world who are working on fundamental issues in neuroscience and cognitive science.
On Thursday 19th October 2023, 3.30 pm CEST, Professor Nicholas Turk-Browne (Yale University, CT, USA) will give a talk entitled “Cognitive neuroscience of learning and memory in human infants”.
On Thursday 14th September 2023, 3.30 pm CEST, Professor Anna Schapiro (University of Pennsylvania, PA, USA) will give a talk entitled “Learning representations of specifics and generalities over time“.
How can the amazing abilities of our memory be explained on the basis of brain anatomy? It is known that different brain functions are anchored in different areas and structures of the brain. For example, we know that certain areas of the cerebral cortex are responsible for perception of the outer world, imagining our future, and thinking about other people. However, little is knowing about connection of the brain regions supporting these important cognitive functions with the human memory system.
Using a novel approach of precision neuroimaging and high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), neuroscientists and physicists at MPI CBS in Leipzig (Germany) and anatomist Menno Witter from the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Trondheim (Norway) have now ventured into the depths of the human memory system. They discovered previously unknown cortical networks and shed light on the anatomical organization of the human memory system. Their findings were recently published in the prestigious journal “Neuron“.
On Thursday 15th June 2023, 2.30 pm CEST, Professor Erie D. Boorman (University of California, Davis, USA) will give a talk entitled “Cognitive maps, cognitive demands, and inference”.
