Title: Grounding Toddler Learning in Sensory Motor Dynamics
Abstract:
Most theories of cognitive development are "cognitive" in the sense of being about internal models, propositions, and inferences. It is not at all clear that these theories can explain real world learning. Child learn in a physical world - about objects, actions, and other social beings, and language - through their second-by-second, minute-by-minute sensorimotor interactions in that world. They create their own experiences through their own actions. This talk considers how the body - and physical actions - may play a special role in - and indeed simplify - learning object names. The body's momentary actions appear to play a direct role in what might seem to be cognitive operations - attention and binding - bind objects in the physical environment to internal cognitive operations. The domain used to illustrate these points is toddler word learning. Using tiny videocameras placed low on the forehead of the child to capture the dynamic first person view, measure of eye-gaze direction, motion sensors on heads and hands, and success in word learning tasks, the experiments show learning that is inseparable from - and made in - embodied interaction in the world.

“Cellular and Molecular Impact of Elucidating Brain Disorders with Complex Genetic Architectures:
Examples from Addiction and Ability to Quit Smoking "
Wednesday, October 20, 2010
4:00 p.m.
Psychological & Brain Sciences Building
Room PY101
IUB
Abstract: “I will review evidence that common brain disorders, and the costs attributable to them, receive substantial heritable contributions. Large contributions of polygenic influences (as well as rare variants) contrast with the modest contributions from Mendelian (single gene) and oligogenic (major gene) genetic architectures. I will focus on vulnerability to develop dependence on an addictive substance and ability to quit smoking, two phenotypes that are influenced by complex genetics that we have studied using GWA in multiple samples. The substantial (and overlapping) genetic contributions to these phenotypes appear to come from polygenic variants in genes that are largely expressed in brain and likely to contribute to individual differences in its wiring, molecular biology, gene regulation and neurotransmission. I will review the challenges and opportunities provided by the vast amounts of currently available GWA data for studies that help to understand the cellular and molecular bases for brain activities and brain disorders. Translational, post GWAS studies that elucidate the ways in which such polygenic variants influence the brain and behavior provide a rich source for increasing understanding of the brain in ways that can provide direct relevance for understanding human brain disorders.”

“The Neural Mechanisms of Tactile Motion Integration”
Abstract: How are local motion signals integrated to form a global motion percept? We investigate the neural mechanisms of tactile motion integration by presenting tactile gratings and plaids, using the tactile analogue of a visual monitor, while recording the responses evoked in somatosensory cortical neurons. In parallel psychophysical experiments, we measure the perceived direction of the gratings and plaids. We identify a population of somatosensory neurons that exhibit integration properties analogous to those observed in visual area MT. We find that the responses of these neurons can account for the perceived direction of the stimuli across all stimulus conditions tested. We show that the preferred direction of the neurons and the perceived direction of the stimuli can be predicted from the weighted average of the directions of the individual stimulus features (edges and intersections).

When: Monday, September 27, 4-5 pm
Speaker: Jaimie Gilbert, Post-Doctoral Fellow, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences
Title: Speech Perception: Additional Cues, Adverse Conditions
Abstract: Two studies investigating speech perception of individuals with normal hearing, listening under adverse conditions, will be discussed. First, electrophysiological data will be presented detailing an effect of seeing facial motion while listening to spoken syllables in noise. Secondly, preliminary data from an on-going experiment will be presented. This experiment utilizes a screener version of the Perceptually Robust English Sentence Test (PRESTO) to investigate individual differences in perceiving high-variability speech (talker, dialect, content) in multi-talker babble.

Dr. Wolf will deliver “Tissue Engineering Utilizing Controlled Gravity” during the Combined Seminar Series from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m., Thursday, September 30 in Walther Hall (R3), Room 203.
During Grand Rounds, Dr. Wolf will present “Building and Utilizing Laboratories in Space.” That presentation is 7:30 - 8:30 a.m., Friday, October 1 in Walther Hall (R3), Room 203.
Dr. Wolf, an Indianapolis native, earned his B.S. in electrical engineering from Purdue and his M.D. from Indiana University School of Medicine. Selected as a NASA astronaut in January 1990, Dr. Wolf became qualified for space flight in July 1991. Dr. Wolf has logged 168 days, 12 hours, 56 minutes, 04 seconds in space over four separate missions, including 128 days on the Russian MIR space station, trained and conducted completely in the Russian language. He has conducted a total of seven spacewalks, utilizing both the American and Russian spacesuits, and has logged 47 hours and five minutes of extravehicular activity. He is an active public speaker and is called upon to represent NASA in a wide variety of venues to communicate the experience and importance of human spaceflight.
