DESCRIPTION:Dr. Luiz Pessoa presents\, 'The networked brain: interactions b
 etween emotion\, motivation\, and cognition'.\n\nRegistration available he
 re.\n\nSpeaker: Luiz Pessoa\, PhD\n\nProfessor\, Department of Psychology\
 ; Director\, Maryland Neuroimaging Center\, University of Maryland\, Colle
 ge Park\n\nAbstract: Research on the “emotional brain” often focuses on a 
 few structures\, such as the amygdala and the ventral striatum. In this pr
 esentation\, I will discuss research that embraces a distributed view of b
 oth emotion- and motivation-related processing\, as well as efforts to unr
 avel the impact of emotion and motivation on large-scale brain networks th
 at are important for perception\, cognition\, and action. In the framework
  presented\, networks are dynamic processes and their organization unfolds
  temporally. In this manner\, emotion and motivation have broad effects on
  brain and behavior. I will also describe work exploring how recurrent neu
 ral networks can be used to characterize spatio-temporal dynamics as measu
 red by functional MRI data\, and how recurrent neural networks can be used
  to study more naturalistic/dynamic paradigms.\n\nBio: He received a B.Sc.
  in Computer Science from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro\, Brazi
 l and an M.Sc. in Computer Engineering from the same university. He follow
 ed his M.Sc. work on artificial neural networks by a PhD in computational 
 neuroscience at Boston University. After returning to Brazil for a few yea
 rs and being on the faculty of Computer Science at the Federal University 
 of Rio de Janeiro\, he returned to the US to take a position as Visiting F
 ellow at the National Institute of Mental Health in the Laboratory of Brai
 n and Cognition headed by Leslie G. Ungerleider (1999 to 2003). He then jo
 ined the Department of Psychology at Brown University as an Assistant Prof
 essor (2003 to 2006)\, the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences 
 at Indiana University\, Bloomington\, as an Associate Professor (2006 to 2
 010)\, and is now at the Department of Psychology\, University of Maryland
 \, College Park\, where he is Professor.\n\n\nThe Feindel Virtual Brain an
 d Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the vision of Dr. William Feindel
  (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984)\, to constantly br
 idge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest
  advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, cognitive neuroscience\, an
 d neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientists from across The Neuro\
 , as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from around the worl
 d. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and tr
 ainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms
 \, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive disorders.\n
