(aka BCS Journal Club)
Fall Semester 2017-2018
The Cognition and Neural Systems (CNS) Journal Club meets
Spring Semester 2016-2017
For Fall and Spring Semesters 2016-2017, the Behavioral, Computational, and Systems Neuroscience (BCS) Journal Club will meet on Tuesdays from 11:45 to 1:00 pm in Uris Hall 205.
Papers and notes from previous semesters can be found in the CNS (BCS) meeting archive.
-----
The Spring 2017 semester's theme is Presentations in the CNS JC are intended to "show us what you are interested in." As we morph into the "BEN journal club", we think that it may be "; i.e., present work within your subfield that illustrates why it is interesting and broadly applicable. It is less important to choose papers that you think will be close to every attendees' heart than it is to choose papers that are blisteringly important or interesting or controversial in your own subfield, and explain/share this with the group. It's good for all of us. The corollary is that attendees journal club members don't decide whether to attend in a given week based on what is being presented.

Please contact Thomas Cleland or David Smith with any questions.

The main issue of interest here is to wrestle with the problem of "innately valent" odors or other stimuli – how are they recognized and represented?
