2/5/2010 9:00 AM Clinical and Research Challenges in Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis Brenda Banwell, MD, FRCPC Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Neurology), The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada K307 (3-6408) Med Center ...

2/8/2010 12:00 PM The neural basis of movement planning Mark Churchland Stanford University 269 Meliora Voluntary movements must be planned before they are generated. Understanding the generation of voluntary movement thus requires understanding the neural events that take place just before movement be...

2/10/2010 12:00 PM Monitoring an uncertain world: cingulate cortex Benjamin Hayden, Ph.D. Department of Neurobiology, Duke University 269 Meliora Uncertainty is a ubiquitous factor in real-world choices. When outcomes associated with different options are uncertain, past rewards provide a valuable guide to present choices. I will discuss two ...

2/15/2010 12:00 PM Imaging circuit assembly in the vertebrate retina Rachel Wong University of Washington 269 Meliora Proper functioning of the nervous system requires the formation and maintenance of precise connectivity patterns between neurons. Our laboratory focuses on developmental mechanisms that regulate preci...

2/15/2010 2:00 PM Coding and computation in the auditory cortex: From synapses to circuits Michael DeWeese, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of Physics & Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, University of California, Berkeley 269 Meliora I will review several recent findings that demonstrate a surprisingly high level of reliability and temporal fidelity of neural responses in the auditory cortex. I will then describe our current effo...

2/17/2010 12:00 PM Behavior, reward, and the cortical representation of sound categories Stephen V David, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Fellow, Institute for Systems Research, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 269 Meliora Auditory behavior requires classifying sounds according to spectro-temporal features that can change between behavioral conditions. Prevailing neurophysiological models for discrimination between sou...

2/20/2010 2:00 PM THE ESM/UR/CORNELL MUSIC COGNITION SYMPOSIUM 2009-10 music cognition research from members of the community Ciminelli Lounge Eastman School of Music Session I: Local Research Saturday, February 20, 2:00-5:00 p.m. Ciminelli Lounge, Eastman Student Living Center (100 Gibbs St.) This session will feature ongoing music cognition research from memb...

2/22/2010 12:15 PM Implicit learning in the language production system is revealed in speech errors Gary Dell Psychology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 269 Meliora I'll first describe a general framework for psycholinguistic theorizing that seems to have emerged over the last 10 years. This framework hypothesizes a particular relationship among processing (co...
