The University of Silesia in Katowice will host Alex Clarke, PhD, a cognitive and behavioural neuroscientist from the University of Cambridge (Great Britain), who will deliver two online lectures and a seminar on neural representations in the human brain.<\/span><\/p>\n

A seminar entitled \u201cSetting up and running a cognitive neuroscience lab\u201d will start at 9 a.m. on 13 October. The meeting is held as part of the Silesian Science Festival KATOWICE.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Topic<\/h3>\n
During the seminar, participants will learn about the practicalities of data processing in brain imaging and various methods of research design. The meeting will start with an introduction to the subject of the data set (MEG) – what has already been measured, what the stimuli were, and a few points regarding the analysis. The stages of RSA data analysis for MEG data in Matlab will also be discussed, including the creation of RDM models, and then \u2013 particular stages of data analysis. <\/span>The participants will also talk about creating research spaces. Alex Clarke, PhD will talk about his experience in financing the early stages of a research career.<\/span><\/div>\n

The lecturer<\/h3>\n

Alex Clarke, PhD is a world-class scientist focusing on neural dynamics and the mechanisms through which vision can activate semantics, and how our knowledge of the world around us changes this dynamic. Combining magnetoencephalography (MEG), electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), neuropsychology, and augmented reality (AR), it takes a multimodal approach to better understand the nature of semantic representations in the brain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clarke obtained his PhD in Experimental Psychology at Clare College, Cambridge University under the supervision of Prof. Lorraine K. Tyler in 2011. He is currently a Scholar of Sir Henry Dale programme, a collaboration between the Royal Society of London and the Wellcome Trust foundation. The programme is dedicated to outstanding postdoctoral researchers wishing to build their own independent research career in an institution (based in Great Britain) dealing with an important biomedical issue. Clarke, PhD is also a lecturer at St. John’s College Cambridge and the University of Cambridge.\u00a0 Previously, he worked as a lecturer at the University of Anglia Ruskin and a researcher at the University of California, Davis (USA) and the University of Cambridge. He is the author of over 30 scientific papers in the field of research on memory, vision, semantics and neuroimaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to join the meeting?<\/h3>\n

The meeting will be held online on the <\/span>Zoom platform<\/span><\/a> (Meeting ID: 989 4045 8227, Passcode: 584855).<\/span><\/p>\n
