Spring Semester 2015-2016

For Fall and Spring Semesters 2015-2016, 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 BCS meeting archive.

-----

The Spring 2015 semester's theme is  “Social Stimuli and Neural Representations”.  This is intentionally broad, in part because BCS itself has broadened this semester to include behavioral ecology approaches.  Here are some examples of what we have in mind:

  • How to social stimuli (e.g. conspecifics) influence neural representations (e.g. spatial-contextual representations in the hippocampus)?
  • How are social stimuli, or stimuli that are related to social processes represented? 
  • How is information related to individual or species recognition represented in the brain?

Presenting your own work is always welcome, in whatever manner you like.

To add yourself to the BCS-L mailing list, send a plain-text email to bcs-L-request@cornell.edu with the body of the message saying simply join. The subject line doesn't matter. Sending the message leave instead will unsubscribe you from the list. See Cornell's Lyris HowTo page for further details.

You can enroll in the BCS Journal Club for graduate or undergraduate credit (1 CR, S/U) as a Topics in Biopsychology seminar: PSYCH 6271. The course requires that you present at least once during the semester and participate actively overall. You are welcome to attend without enrolling, of course, but we do appreciate you enrolling if you plan to attend the whole semester and to present.

Please contact Thomas Cleland or David Smith with any questions.
