[Koglist] Fluencia Party - September 4 Wednesday

by Dezso Nemeth

Dear Cognitive Folks, The next Fluencia Party will be held be on 4th September (Wednesday) starting at 7.30pm in Élesztő (Tüzoltó utca 22). Info: https://www.facebook.com/events/223986851876343/ 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

[Koglist] {Disarmed} Fwd: Postdoc possibilities

by János TÓTH

Hátha vkinek van postdoc állása. Üdv, Tj ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Amirhossein Sadeghi Manesh <Amir(a)math.ku.dk> Date: Wed, Aug 14, 2019 at 11:02 AM Subject: Postdoc possibilities To: jtoth(a)math.bme.hu <jtoth(a)math.bme.hu> Dear Janos Toth, We met several times in different conferences (first time was in Mackie2017 in Budapest, and the last time was in Bern). I finished my PhD previous year and now I'm doing a short postdoc until the end of this December so now I'm looking for a new postdoc. I thought of writing to you and ask if you have any postdoc position or by any chance aware of any. I attached my CV to this email and wrote a bit about myself (the link to my thesis is also at the end of this email). I finished my PhD and a short 2 months postdoc at the end of October 2018 and now I'm spending another 8 months postdoc with my PhD supervisor (1st of May 2019-31st of December 2019). I studied my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in pure mathematics (specialized to algebraic geometry in master with thesis title: "*Resolution of singularities and Hironaka's theorem*"). Then I studied my PhD in applied algebraic geometry in biology under supervision of Elisenda Feliu, and my PhD thesis title was "*algebraic tools in the study of multistationarity of chemical reaction networks*". In my thesis I used parallel computation and programming with Maple and Python (I am using C++ and Julia during my current postdoc too). I introduced algorithms which solve the questions of interests faster than former existing algorithms, or need less memory. I used not only computational algebraic geometry, but also stochastic, statistics, numerical analysis, linear algebra and graph theory. Another thing about me is that I always like to participate conferences and use whatever new things I learn in the talks to attack the challenging questions in the topics that I work on them, even if they sound irrelevant at the beginning. As an example you can see the use of the Kac-Rice formula to do what CAD (cylindrical algebraic decomposition) can't do in algebraic geometry in practice. I also prefer to have applications for what I do and that was the reason I didn't continue my PhD only in the pure side and tried a topic with application in biology and chemistry, and you can see examples in my thesis such as gene-regulationary networks (like LacI-TetR), n-site phosphorylation or HK networks which have application in signal trasnduction passways and memory role in Eukaryotic and Prekaryotic cells respectively. Links to my PhD thesis and the two first papers of my thesis are below. A preliminary draft version of the third paper can be found in my thesis text. But the results are generalized in the current postdoc which are not in that draft. I also worked on speeding up the Monte-Carlo integrations needed in this work.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: ``Development of Memory Systems in the Human Brain`` by Noa Ofen (Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, USA) on Wednesday, July 10, 2019

by Gyorgyne Finta

Dear All, This is a kind reminder that the CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Noa Ofen (Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, USA) Date: Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Jozsef Fiser Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Development of Memory Systems in the Human Brain Noa Ofen, PhD Associate Professor of Psychology Lifespan Cognitive Neuroscience Program, Institute of Gerontology Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, USA Currently: Visiting Scientist, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel Episodic memory - the ability to encode, maintain and retrieve information - is critical for everyday functioning at all ages, yet still fairly little is known about the development of episodic memory systems and their brain substrates. In this talk, I will present data from a series of studies with which we investigate how functional and structural brain development underlies changes in memory functioning throughout childhood and adolescence. Using functional neuroimaging methods, including fMRI and electrocorticography (ECoG), we characterize the neural correlates of memory processes and identify, across age, an increase in memory-related activation and functional connectivity of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), a region that also shows protracted structural development. Using structural MRI, we show that age-related increase in the functional contribution of the PFC to memory may be directly related to improvement in the use of mnemonic strategies with age. The hippocampus, known to be critical for episodic memory, shows complex patterns of age-related differences across development. Using high-resolution structural MRI data, we investigate hippocampal maturation and find evidence that age differences in hippocampal subfield volumes are related to age differences in associative memory ability. Characterizing normative development of brain systems that support episodic memory has direct implications for the understanding of memory systems in adults and aging, as well as in atypical development.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: CEU Departmental Colloquium, July 3: Ansgar Endress (City University of London) - Interference and memory capacity limitations

by CDC

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Dr. Ansgar Endress (City University of London) [web<http://www.endress.org/>] Title: Interference and memory capacity limitations Date: Wednesday, 3 July 2019 Time: 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7., room 101 Abstract: Working Memory (WM) retains items over brief periods of time for use by ongoing cognitive operations. WM capacity is thought to be limited to 3 or 4 items. Further, such capacity limitations are often thought to reflect limitations of active maintenance mechanisms such as attention and executive function. Here, I suggest that such severe capacity-limitations mostly arise in experiments with substantial proactive interference (PI) among items, and that these limitations disappear when interference among items is reduced. Further, I provide a simple mathematical proof showing that, under general conditions, interference among memory items guarantees fixed and limited capacity limitations even in the absence of the maintenance mechanisms that are supposedly at the root of WM capacity limitations. Interference can also mimic the predictions of different theories of WM, notably those of slot-like and continuous resource-like theories. As a result, neither the existence of WM limitations nor their shape are necessarily diagnostic of the memory mechanisms causing these limitations. Instead, at least in some situations, WM limitations might be largely automatic consequences of interference. In line with this view, I show that the effects of interference on memory performance are relatively independent of presentation speed and executive secondary tasks, and that the forms of attention that supposedly yield capacity limitations of 3 or 4 items – simultaneous attention as measured by multiple object tracking – have fundamentally different properties from WM. Based on these and other experiments, I propose that, in many situations, the primary limitation of memory might be to retrieve relevant rather than irrelevant memory representations, and that this problem might be exacerbated if “crowding” of the memory space makes it hard to identify the appropriate memory items. We are looking forward to see you.
