emlékeztető: Martin Conway előadása

Kedves Kollégák, Mindenkit sok szeretettel várunk 2008. december 4-én (holnap) 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.
