DESCRIPTION:Zoom option if unable to attend in person:\nZoom link here (click on “Join a meeting”)\nMeeting ID: 91512 289258\nPasscode: 289258\n\nWhat is the neural basis of abstraction? Working in collaboration with experimental groups who have trained monkeys and humans on a decision task\, we analyze how subjects make use of visual information and feedback to infer a hidden rule\, where the rule switches in an uncued fashion. We fit a suite of behavioral models and learn that while humans are close to optimal Bayesian agents\, monkey behavior is better fit as reinforcement learning\, with a novel additional factor included. We use this behavioral model to elucidate structure in neural activity recorded from 200 sites across the brain\, finding low-dimensional and dynamic representations of stimulus\, feedback and  reward prediction error that support the notion of internal states captured by the behavioral model. \n  URL:https://www.centreforbrainhealth.ca/events/dr-adrienne-fairhall/ LOCATION:Rudy North Lecture Theatre\, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health\, 2215 Wesbrook Mall\, Vancouver\, British Columbia\, V6T 1Z3\, Canada CATEGORIES:Neuroscience Research Colloquium END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20231208T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20231208T160000 DTSTAMP:20231124T114213 CREATED:20231101T161224Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231110T010326Z UID:12173-1702047600-1702051200@www.centreforbrainhealth.ca SUMMARY:Michelle Jung: Effects of maternal sucrose consumption during pregnancy on maternal and fetal glucocorticoids DESCRIPTION:Join us for the UBC Behavioural Neuroscience Seminars (BNS)\, a lecture series featuring DMCBH trainees and professors in a casual setting.
