Kedves Kollegak, Caroline Fonta (Cerveau & Cognition, CNRS Universite Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France, http://www.cerco.ups-tlse.fr/ <http://www.cerco.ups-tlse.fr/fr_vers/annuaire/caroline_fonta.htm> fr_vers/annuaire/caroline_fonta.htm) alabbi eloadasra varunk minden erdeklodot december 4.-en csutortokon 14.30-kor a SOTE Anatomi konyvtaraban (1094 Tűzoltó u. 58). A 3D methodological approach to the study of intra-cortical vessel networks. The organization of the cerebral micro-vascular network is an important issue in various biological fields, considering clinical as well as fundamental questions, such as normal and pathological vascularization, functional brain imaging interpretation, stroke consequences, therapeutic strategies or hemodynamic modelling. Investigations aiming at describing postnatal angiogenesis, defining malignancy criteria in tumours or analysing the effects of therapies need relevant structural parameters of the network angiogenesis. However they have to face the complexity of the networks. Classical methods have been used to describe vasculature and recent promising techniques provide in vivo functional data. These powerful methods present however some restrictions : small field of view, exploration of cortical depth limited to a few hundreds of micrometres, information limited to qualitative description. We present an alternative method developed to image volumes as large as several tens of cube millimetres of cortical tissue with a micro-metric resolution, by using x-ray micro-tomography. We discuss the interest of the qualitative and quantitative data obtained, focusing on the comparisons between vessel networks in newborn and adult monkey cortex, and between normal and tumor brain tissue. This work results from a tight collaboration between several disciplines (biology, dynamics of fluids, physics, image analysis and statistics) and has been partly published.

invitation to a philosophy talk

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Philosophy Department cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Andres Moles (Central European University) on Dworkin, Integrity and Hate Speakers Tuesday, 25 November, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT In this paper I analyze three different arguments that Ronald Dworkin has produced to defend the claim that restrictions on hate speech are unjust. The focus of the paper is on the interests that citizens have qua speakers in being allowed to express racist or sexist views, in this respect the paper claims that Dworkin’s arguments do not show that such interests are sufficient for protection. Drawing from some research on social psychology I claim that hate speech is harmful in a justice-relevant manner. If I am correct, then given Dworkin's ideas about integrity and equality of resources, he cannot claim that restricting hate speech fails to treat speakers with less respect and concern.

Meghívó, Martin Conway előadása

by Mihaly Racsmany

Kedves Kollégák, Mindenkit sok szerettel várunk 2008. december 4-én 17.00-kor a következő előadásra: *Martin A. Conway* Institute of Psychological Sciences, University of Leeds, England ***Studying Memory With SenseCam: The Future of Memory Research*** *December 4., csütörtök - 17:00. BME, XI., Stoczek u. 2., St. ép., 320.-as terem.* *Thursday, December 4th, 17:00. BME, Budapest, Stoczek u. 2, St. Building, room 320. * *Abstract: * I describe the use of a new camera from Microsoft, Cambridge Research Laboratories, not yet commercially available, called 'SenseCam'. SenseCam (SC) is worn around the neck and automatically takes colour photographs in response to sensory changes it detects. Wearing SC for, say, 2 hours produces approximately 150 to 200 photographs that can be viewed, days, weeks, months, or years later, typically at a rate of one picture per second. Thus, a two-hour event can be viewed in just a few minutes. The effects of SC photographs on memory are quite remarkable and induce what I term "Proustian moments" of amazingly detailed and vivid recollection of events that cannot otherwise be remembered or only poorly remembered. In this paper I describe a neuroimaging study of SC and current work with several amnesic patients. And, if I remember......., I will wear an SC for the presentation.
