09 / 11 (talk) The Neurobiology of Decision Making: A Window on Cognition Start: 09:30 End: 10:45 Abstract: Studies of decision-making in such varied fields as psychology, economics, statistics, political- and computer science must consider the flexible and nuanced way that information bears on the choices that agents make. In neuroscience, the study of decision-making opens a window on the neural basis of many other higher cognitive capacities which also use information in a contingent fashion and in a flexible time frame — free from the immediacy of sensory events or the need to control a body in real time. more info (talk) Oscillations, grid cells and memory Start: 11:15 End: 12:30 Abstract: Michael E. Hasselmo Center for Memory and Brain, Department of Psychology and Program in Neuroscience, Boston University. 2 Cummington St., Boston, MA 02215 hasselmo [at] bu [dot] edu more info

09 / 14 (talk) Cellular and Network Mechanisms for Memory Storage and Recall in the Hippocampus. Start: 09:30 End: 10:45 Abstract: The hippocampus is a memory structure, notably for the storage of sequence information. There is now a great deal of information about the anatomy and cellular properties of the hippocampus that constrain models of how the system works. Our work has analyzed two properties of hippocampal cells, the spatial properties of place cells and the phenomenon of phase precession. more info (talk) The Rational Brain Start: 11:15 End: 12:30 Abstract: more info (talk) Surfing the waves of expectation: oscillatory activity in orbitofrontal cortex codes reward prediction Start: 12:30 End: 13:45 more info
09 / 15 (talk) Brain architectures for action selection Start: 09:30 End: 10:45 Abstract: more info (talk) The multi-level neuronal organization of perception, cognition and action in a Synthetic Forager: Start: 11:15 End: 12:30 The Distributed Adaptive Control Architecture more info (talk) Whisking with robots: From rat vibrissae to biomimetic technology for active touch Start: 12:30 End: 13:45 more info
09 / 16 (talk) Conscious and unconscious perception and their relation to short and long-range synchronization Start: 09:30 End: 10:30 Abstract: In my talk I will present evidence which suggests that long-distance synchronization in the gamma frequency range plays a crucial role in conscious perception. I will present several studies where long–distance synchronization and local gamma synchronization were measured during the presentation of visible versus invisible words and letters. more info (talk) Cortico-striatal Function in Language and Cognitive Sequence Processing: Towards Cognitive Robotics Start: 10:30 End: 11:30 Abstract: more info (talk) Non linear sensory processing in the rat somato-sensory cortex Start: 12:00 End: 13:00 Abstract: Affiliation: CNRS, Unité de Neurosciences Intégratives et Computationnelles Address: 1 Ave. de la Terrasse, 91198 Gif sur Yvette, France E-mail: shulz [at] unic [dot] cnrs-gif [dot] fr more info
