Dear Colleagues,
It is a pleasure to announce the next IIS Colloquium, Friday March 6th at 1:30 pm in DH 351. Please note the change of time and place: this is a joint Colloquium between the IIS and the Computer Science Department. Dr. Joe Tsien from the Medical College of Georgia will be giving a talk entitled "Organizing principles of real-time memory encoding". A bio is attached, and the abstract is below. This hour-long talk will be held in DH 351. We hope to foster discussion/debate that will continue after the talk or at dinner as appropriate! Looking forward, Andrew -- Andrew Olney, Ph.D. Associate Director Institute for Intelligent Systems The University of Memphis 365 Innovation Drive Memphis, TN 38152 Abstract: The activation of networks of neurons allows the brain to generate perception, memory, knowledge, and behavior. Deciphering this memory code could allow scientists to develop intelligent computers and robots and perhaps even generate a codebook of the mind—a tool for cataloging an individual’s thoughts and experiences. I will discuss some of the recent findings that may shed new insights into how the brain encodes memory. |
