[Koglist] Fluencia Party on 9th February (Friday)

by Dezso Nemeth

Dear Cognitive Folks, The next Fluencia Party will be on 9th February (Friday) starting at 8.00pm in Élesztő (Tűzoltó utca close to Corvin metro station). Info: https://www.facebook.com/events/2013110232260580/ Fluencia is a monthly organized informal "jamboree" for cogsci-, psychology-related students (undergrads, grads), professors, researchers from many different universities in Hungary. The idea and motivation are to facilitate interactions, communication, collaboration among researchers working here, get to know others and others' interests, topics, etc. And, of course, to have some drinks and fun in a friendly environment. Everybody is welcome to attend! If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask. All the best, Dezso -------------------------------------- NEMETH, Dezso (PhD) Brain, Memory and Language Lab: http://www.memory-and-language.com Phone: +36-1-4614500/3565, +36-1-4614500/3519

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] ``Unsupervised temporal learning underlies the development of complex cells in primary visual cortex `` by Davide Zoccolan (SISSA, Italy) on Wednesday, April 3, 2019

by Gyorgyne Finta

Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its next week talk by: Davide Zoccolan, SISSA, Italy Date: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Jozsef Fiser Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Title: Unsupervised temporal learning underlies the development of complex cells in primary visual cortex Abstract: In mammals, visual perception relies on cortical representations of visual objects that remain relatively stable with respect to the tremendous variation in object appearance that is typically experienced during natural vision (e.g., because of position, size or viewpoint changes). Such stability, known as transformation tolerance, is built incrementally along the visual cortical hierarchy devoted to shape processing, but early instances of position tolerance can be found already in primary visual cortex (V1), where the neurons known as complex cells maintain their orientation tuning over the entire span of their receptive fields. To date, it remains unclear what mechanisms are at the origin of such tolerance, in V1 as well as in higher-order visual cortical areas. One of the leading theories, known as unsupervised temporal learning, postulates that visual neurons exploit the temporal continuity of visual experience (i.e. the natural tendency of different object views to occur nearby in time) to associatively link temporally-contiguous stimuli, so as to factor out object identity from other faster-varying, lower-level visual attributes (e.g., object positions, size, etc.). In my lab, we causally tested this hypothesis by rearing newborn rats in visually controlled environments, where the animals were exposed either to a battery of natural movies (control group) or to frame-scrambled versions of such movies (resulting in temporally unstructured visual input; experimental group) for the whole duration of the critical period (60 days). Following this controlled rearing phase, we performed multi-electrode extracellular recordings from V1 of each animal, finding a reduction of the proportion of complex cells in the experimental group and a concomitant decrease in the ability of such neurons to code stimulus orientation in a position-invariant way. These findings causally demonstrate that temporal continuity of the visual input plays an important role in the development of complex cells in V1, thus providing a critical experimental validation of the hypothesis that visual cortex achieves transformation tolerance through unsupervised temporal learning.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: ``Multisensory integration and crossmodal recalibration `` by Brigitte Roeder (University Hamburg) on Wednesday, March 27, 2019

by Gyorgyne Finta

Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its next talk by: Brigitte Roeder (University Hamburg)<https://www.psy.uni-hamburg.de/en/arbeitsbereiche/biologische-psychologie-u…> Date: Wednesday, March 27, 2019 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Jozsef Fiser Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Title: Multisensory integration and crossmodal recalibration Abstract: If a sound is accompanied by a spatially discrepant visual stimulus, the sound is typically localized towards the latter. This effect is known as the ventriloquist illusion which is considered as indicating multisensory integration. A repeated presentation of spatially discrepant audio-visual stimuli has been shown to result in a change of unisensory auditory localization; this effect is known as the ventriloquist after effect which is considered as reflecting crossmodal recalibration or more general multisensory learning. In this talk, I will discuss how these two multisensory effects can be used to investigate the principles, neural correlates and development of multisensory integration and learning.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: ``Deciphering the neural code of human spatial awareness `` by Zoltan Nadasdy (University of Texas at Austin, HCA Neuroscience, ELTE) on Thursday, March 21, 2019

by Gyorgyne Finta

REMINDER: Today talk! Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its next extraordinary talk by: Zoltan Nadasdy (University of Texas at Austin, HCA Neuroscience, ELTE) Date: Thursday, March 21, 2019 - 17:10-18:40 (note the special timing!) Host: Jozsef Fiser Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Title: "Deciphering the neural code of human spatial awareness" Abstract: The neuronal activity in our brain has a dual nature. One is characterized as discrete and conveys information while the other is continuous, periodic and we don't exactly understand its function. When these two forms of activity engage in a coordinated interplay their interaction generates a spatially periodic maps recognized as grids, anchored to the environment and guiding us during spatial navigation. In this lecture I will discuss new results from the medial temporal lobe of human subjects that illustrate the emergence of conspicuous maps, which may serve us as a neural coordinate system for our spatial awareness.
