各位同學 台大及陽明邀請神經經濟學的傑出學者 德州奧斯丁分校的Prof. Russell Poldrack即將來給兩場演講 分別是下星期四(5/19)在台大經濟系經大講堂 以及5/24星期二 在陽明大學活動中心第三會議室 以下是詳細資訊 不需要事先報名 準時入場即可 歡迎大家來聽! 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 台大經濟系經大講堂 (5/19, Thur) and one at 陽明大學 (活動中心第三會議室) (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. 演講一 5/19 (四) 13：30－15：30 Title: Bridging risky decision making and decision under risk Location: 台灣大學經濟系經大講堂, 台北市徐州路21號 (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. 演講二 5/24 (二) 15：30－17：30 Title: Towards a semantic infrastructure for cognitive neuroscience: The Cognitive Atlas Project Location: 陽明大學活動中心第三會議室 (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. --
