CNS 2020 Day 4 Highlights

May 5, 2020

The final day of CNS 2020 Virtual brought us a diverse set of symposia, in addition to the final poster sessions and an award lecture by Nancy Kanwisher. Her 26th Annual George A. Miller Prize in Cognitive Neuroscience Lecture was entitled Functional Imaging of the Human Brain: A Window into the Architecture of the Mind. Attendees also learned about novel non-invasive approaches for brain stimulation and contemporary approaches to understanding emotion representations. Check out some highlights from those talks and more, via Twitter:

Morning Session:

Check out these speakers coming up, who are each approaching this topic of emotion representations from different angles #CNS2020: pic.twitter.com/jeJch2rKXT

LaBar’s team has been able to apply machine learning tools to derive neuroimaging markers of a small set of emotions like fear, anger, and surprise #CNS2020

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) May 5, 2020

They developed a neural network to decode images into distinct emotion categories and validated the model using over 25,000 images and movies #CNS2020

Keltner was a consultant on the Pixar film “Inside Out” and the first question the director had was: What are the emotions? #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/rPYG0jUGSI

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) May 5, 2020

But even the basic 6 are incomplete and Keltner and Cowen hope to open our minds to the idea that emotions are high dimensional beyond the traditional ideas #CNS2020

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) May 5, 2020

She’s been working to understand what she calls the “language of the face” — how individual face movements combine in different ways to create meaningful facial expressions, like how letters combine to create words #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/pRh4LOEl2D

Beginning the last day of #CNS2020 with @jerome_sallet who kicks off symposium 4 by introducing methods of non invasive brain stimulation, such as ultrasound neuromodulation. pic.twitter.com/jmPI4zceRr

Congratulations to Nancy Kanwisher, recipient of the George A. Miller Prize #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/MiPlx6iTZm

We’ve come far in understanding the architecture of the mind… This is an initial sketch of who we are but also the barest of beginnings, a roadmap for research – Nancy Kanwisher #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/4uapLQv8x0

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) May 5, 2020

Kanwisher tours us through work on face selectivity in the fusiform and the developmental origins of cortical specificity #CNS2020

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) May 5, 2020

These are but 3 questions but there are a whole host of others… Nancy Kanswisher concludes her George A. Miller Award talk #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/SzkAYvHl5F

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) May 5, 2020

Had a fantastic and engaging time watching Nancy Kanwisher’s award talk for #CNS2020 in VR! Here’s a photo in our VR theater with @MarcCoutanche @Mr_Steely_Dan and others! It felt way more like a real conference than watching things on my 2D screen. pic.twitter.com/Arn6OJ0vuO

Afternoon Sessions and Exhibition Hall:

Now playing, Symposia 9-11. Here, in Symposium 11, @erezfreud1 discusses the role of case studies and research of small unique populations in an era of big data #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/KMwCYximYD

1/ Interesting design presented by @Zoe_Chi_Ngo to investigate different aspects of memory in the same experiment. #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/wE05FydNj2

— Anne Billot (@Annel3illoT) May 5, 2020

2/ Improvement in generalizability and in some aspects of episodic specifity in development. C. Ngo #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/iPsPOW9SpM

— Anne Billot (@Annel3illoT) May 5, 2020

Really enjoyed @AlexaTompary ‘s talk discussing how prior knowledge can strengthen and disrupt memory recall. I will definitely be re-watching this later to catch all of the findings you presented 🦁🐦#CNS2020 https://t.co/eYVRLW0S2l

— Stephanie Simpson (@stf_simpson) May 5, 2020

Want to know how alpha lateralization relates to sound localization in complex auditory scenes? Hope to “see” you all in my poster booth! Here’s the link to the video presentation if you aren’t attending #CNS2020: https://t.co/w802Hqqz7o https://t.co/mZ2iNQXMFE

We hope you have enjoyed #CNS2020 – we have! Our exhibition area will stay live for the next few days so please do browse the information and download flyers. And then submit your next paper! https://t.co/Gc4v5W7RIy pic.twitter.com/QJgfC24oea

And a special shout-out to our student volunteer tweeters @Annel3illoT and @nm_gilmore — and all of you — for enriching #CNS2020 with your coverage! pic.twitter.com/b8Jd8yrgPs

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) May 5, 2020

All our content will be available On Demand for registered participants until May 16th, so you can watch or re-watch talks at your convenience. And a survey will be coming your way, so please let us know what you think! #CNS2020

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) May 5, 2020

Great science and interactions at virtual #CNS2020 Thanks @CNSmtg for re-organizing this!
