[Koglist] Invitation: Talk by Katie Overy, June 23

by Lukács Borbála

Dear Colleagues, The MTA-LFZE Research Group on Active Music Learning cordially invites you to the following talk: Katie Overy (IMHSD, Reid School of Music, University of Edinburgh) Date: June 23rd 2017, Friday, 11.00-12.00 Location: Hungarian Academy of Sciences Research Centre for Natural Sciences Brain Imaging Centre, Magyar tudósok körútja 2., 3rd floor, conference room 2 (D3.09C) Short-Term, Music-Cued Motor Training Leads to Neuroplasticity in The Arcuate Fasciculus: a DT-MRI Study The arcuate fasciculus, a white matter tract linking auditory and motor regions of the brain, has been found to show increased connectivity in highly trained musicians, but it is not known whether such differences are specifically caused by musical training. We hypothesized that learning a musical, auditory-motor task with the left hand would lead to microstructural neuroplasticity in the contralateral, right arcuate fasciculus. Thirty right-handed participants were assigned to a motor learning condition either with (Music Group) or without (Control Group) musical cues. Participants completed 20 minutes of motor training three times per week over four weeks, resulting in a total of four hours of training. Using diffusion tensor MRI and probabilistic neighbourhood tractography, we identified mean Fractional Anisotropy (FA), axial (AD) and radial (RD) diffusivity values in the left and right arcuate fasciculi for each participant, before and after the four-week training period. Results revealed that FA increased significantly in the right, contralateral arcuate fasciculus of the Music group only, as hypothesised, with trends for AD to increase and RD to decrease. No significant changes were found in the left, ipsilateral arcuate fasciculus of either group, as predicted. This is a pattern of results consistent with activity-dependent increases in myelination and, to our knowledge, is the first evidence that adding musical cues to movement learning can induce rapid microstructural change in white matter pathways in the adult brain (Moore et al 2017).

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: May 3, Wednesday: Bhismadev Chakrabarti - Clues from reward & mimicry to understand Autism

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Bhismadev Chakrabarti<https://www.reading.ac.uk/psychology/about/staff/b-chakrabarti.aspx> (University of Reading) Date: Wednesday, May 3, 2017 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 Clues from reward & mimicry to understand Autism Humans are social beings. Most of us find looking at, hearing, and interacting with other humans to be a rewarding experience. One theoretical account of autism is based on the observation that individuals with ASD often do not find social stimuli and interactions to be rewarding. This account suggests that social behavioural difficulties in ASD are driven by a deficit in reward processing from social stimuli. In our research, we study how reward influences a fundamental aspect of human social behaviour, i.e. spontaneous facial mimicry. Spontaneous facial mimicry is an integral part of everyday social interactions, e.g. we smile automatically when we see others smile at us. Individuals with ASD commonly show reduced spontaneous facial mimicry. These two processes of mimicry and reward are intricately linked from early on in human development. Mothers commonly mimic their children, and the children mimic back. This cycle of mimicry helps build social bonds, in children as well as in adults. As adults, we tend to prefer individuals who mimic us more, and, mimic those who we prefer more. We study these links between reward and mimicry using a range of techniques that measure physiological response (using facial EMG), brain activity (using fMRI), eye movements (using eye-tracking), and overt behaviour. The emerging picture from our research suggests that autism represent a weakening of the bidirectional links between reward and mimicry. Rather than there being a core problem in the act of mimicry per se, or responding to social rewards, autistic symptoms might be more representative of an atypical connection between neural systems involved in reward processing and those underlying mimicry. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium **this week @ 18h00**, Brent Strickland, Wednesday 31st

by Katarina Begus

Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: *Brent Strickland *(CNRS, Institut Jean Nicod, Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris) web <http://brentstrickland.net/> *Date: *Wednesday, May 31st *** Change of time! *** Please note that this week the colloquium will exceptionally start *at 18:00.* *Title: *Automaticity in the perception of causality *Abstract: *For many years, following Michotte researchers believed that in simple events, like billiard ball collisions, were in some cases "directly" seen as causal. In other words these events were postulated to be automatically categorized as involving causality in a way that may divorced from higher level judgment. In studying this phenomenon however, one major problem has been the use of direct as opposed to indirect measures. Since the 1950's, researchers interested in this topic have typically shown a causal or non-causal event to participants and asked them to assess the extent to which that event looks causal. This leaves open the possibility that any factors that are hypothesized to affect the perception of causality could in fact merely be affecting judgments about causality (Rips, 2011). Here I discuss two new sets of results involving indirect measures in the perception of causality and which help strengthen the argument that causal perception is an automatic perceptual mechanism. The first involves a novel visual search task in which we show that physically impossible accelerations "pop-out" for causal launching events but accelerations do not do so for closely matched but non-causal events (Kominsky*, Strickland*, Wertz, & Keil, under review). We further show that similar effects obtain in pre-verbal infants from 10 months of age. A second demonstration of the automaticity of causal perception involves a novel "switch cost" paradigm in which participants are asked to make a judgment about an orthogonal property (such as shirt color) on images involving an agent (i.e. the actor performing an action) and a patient (i.e. the actor undergoing an action) in a causal interaction (Hafri, Trueswell, & Strickland, under review). Participants are faster in making orthogonal judgments on trials in which they were asked about actors with the same role on the previous trial (e.g. Agent-Agent trial pairs) than when they are asked about actors with different roles (e.g. Patient-Agent trial pairs). Collectively these findings help demonstrate that causality is detected rapidly and automatically during on-line perception, and this can have surprising down stream effects. *Location: *Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101 We are looking forward to seeing you there!
