各位同学 台大及阳明邀请神经经济学的杰出学者 德州奥斯丁分校的Prof. Russell Poldrack即将来给两场演讲 分别是下星期四(5/19)在台大经济系经大讲堂 以及5/24星期二 在阳明大学活动中心第三会议室 以下是详细资讯 不需要事先报名 准时入场即可 欢迎大家来听! We are announcing the coming of the Neuroeconomics colloquium series. The first speaker will be Prof. Russell Poldrack. He will give 2 talks, one at 台大经济系经大讲堂 (5/19, Thur) and one at 阳明大学 (活动中心第三会议室) (5/24, Tue). Prof. Poldrack is a renown cognitive neuroscientist whose research focuses on using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to invstigate the neurobiological mechanisms of human cognition. His research spans a wide range of topics, from learning and memory, decision making, executive function, and motor control. His work has been published in high-impact journals such as Science, Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, and Journal of Neuroscience. He is now the director of the Imaging Research Center at University of Texas at Austin. Below is his talk information including abstracts. 演讲一 5/19 (四) 13：30－15：30 Title: Bridging risky decision making and decision under risk Location: 台湾大学经济系经大讲堂, 台北市徐州路21号 (Reception to follow after talk) Abstract: Neuroeconomics has provided substantial insights into the processes underlying economic concept of "decision under risk." However, this work has largely failed to provide insights into "risky decision making", a lay concept with significant public health implications. I will discuss the relation between these concepts, and outline how dynamic decision making tasks provide the potential to bridge the gap between these two concepts. 演讲二 5/24 (二) 15：30－17：30 Title: Towards a semantic infrastructure for cognitive neuroscience: The Cognitive Atlas Project Location: 阳明大学活动中心第三会议室 (Reception to follow after talk) Abstract: We are drowning in results from neuroimaging studies, but starving for an understanding of how these results inform brain function. In order to integrate across this wealth of research findings, I propose that we need a formal semantic infrastructure similar to those developed in other areas of bioscience such as genomics. I will first describe a set of informatics tools that mine literature and neuroimaging databases to characterize the relation between neural and mental function. I will then describe the Cognitive Atlas project (www.cognitiveatlas.org), which aims to develop a knowledge base for mental structure. Finally, I will outline a proof of concept showing how such a database could be used to extract the latent structure of brain processes that underlie mental function. --
