Madoka will present a study looking at synchrony between two brains aka "interpersonal EEG" as a prelude to future studies.

Prior to Madoka's presentation, I'd like to have a 5 min debriefing on the data John Reynold's presented today (narrow/broad spiking and cell type) since these have direct implications for LFP recordings and EEG - especially w.r.t gamma band...

See you all then!

Hi all,

I'm planning to present three interesting papers from recent issues of Nature and Science.

1. Deep stimulation to thalamus to awaken an unconscious patient
2. Experimental induction of out-of-body experiences.

If you are interested (and if you're a morning person!), you are welcomed to join the Journal club.
It is held in room 50 (MRI conference room) in Broad from 8:30-9:30 AM.

Cheers

Nao

Tots More Socially Cognitive Than Apes

By LAURAN NEERGAARD – Sep 6, 2007

WASHINGTON (AP) — Toddlers may act up like little apes, but researchers who compared the species concluded a 2-year-old child still has the more sophisticated social learning skills.

In one test, preschoolers who wanted a toy hidden in a trick tube intently copied a scientist's movements to retrieve the prize. Chimps watched the lesson, but then mostly tried to smash or bite open the tube. When it came to simple math, however, the apes seemed to know more than the youngsters, apparently "adding" how many tasty raisins researchers had hidden.

In a novel study, scientists lured 106 chimpanzees, 32 orangutans and 105 toddlers to sit thro ... read more
