CNS 2021 Virtual, Day 4 Highlights

March 16, 2021

The final day of CNS 2021 Virtual brought us a diverse set of symposia, in addition to the final poster sessions and award lectures by our two Young Investigator Award winners, Anne Collins and Amitai Shenhav. Their work is changing how we think about human learning and motivation. Symposia today included a special session in honor of Art Shimamura who inspired so many in cognitive neuroscience and sessions on new frontiers in vision rehabilitation and neural networks in cognitive neuroscience. Check out some highlights from those talks and more, via Twitter:

SESSION IN HONOR OF ART SHIMAMURA-

.@ivryrich: Shimamura was a “Renaissance man” coining a new phrase “psychocinematics” — fusing his interests in behavioral science and aesthetics/photography with a love of film #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/5JYTmIzmAU

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 16, 2021

Shimamura’s cross-cutting work led Baldo to research looking at the interaction of attention and memory in frontal lobe patients and then to work with aphasia patients. #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/kY11RAxvmB

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 16, 2021

Now on to @CharanRanganath, discussing his journey in studying working memory, a journey that started with Shimamura #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/669vv277dL

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 16, 2021

@CharanRanganath ‘s talk gives a great background to #psychocinematography and discusses a lot of great research on #episodicmemory . Event boundaries are associated with specific cortico-hippocampal activity. #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/u2FFw2N1tv

.@Memory_Control shares new work on hubs of domain-general inhibitory control
The findings suggest that our capacity for self control come from a common well-spring in the brain #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/RUa6Zaag3c

It all started on a road trip Prinzmetal took with Shimamura and his family to Santa Cruz, where they visited the the “Mystery Spot” #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/lWIrehm8lO

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 16, 2021

It’s a classic case of how our sense of orientation is affected by what we see #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/YpPAU9Cm6z

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 16, 2021

There was also this height illusion that was created, with one person appearing taller who was not — and Shimamura created a shoebox that Prinzmetal was only able to recreate digitally #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/RxfJaMHv0a

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 16, 2021

Dr. Bill Prinzmetal shared a sort of “aha moment” about the height illusion he had while working on it with Dr. Art Shimamura. #CNS2021 Leading to them to test how orientation of lines relative to each other can effect some visual illusions. pic.twitter.com/Epb77om0Th

SYMPOSIA-

#CNS2021 Exciting program for the first talk of the third invited symposium “Neural Networks in Cognitive Neuroscience” by @neurograce

How can artificial neural networks help us understand brains and minds? “It’s not just because it’s hot […] it helps us come up with hypotheses to study behavior […] and capture complex neural activity” @GuangyuRobert #CNS2021

Fascinating talk on neural networks and object recognition by @talia_konkle at #CNS2021, demonstrating how an integrated feature space can represent all categories pic.twitter.com/8PEgAKAwu3

“I am excited by the possibility of making early interventions & helping children develop perceptual and social skills… multisensory technologies, perhaps combined with sensory substitution devices, could bring significant benefits.” -M Gori https://t.co/HkxAcKnIoX #CNS2021

WRAP-UP-

I must say that #CNS2021 has been absolutely brilliant and made my lockdown days better. Thank you @CNSmtg for such a great event!

— Johanna Pozo (@JohanaPozo) March 16, 2021

#CNS2021 | Thank you for Attending! And thanks for a great meeting, see you in San Francisco, April 23-26, 2022! On Demand will be available until June 16, 2021. Survey Coming Soon.
