Randolph Blake
Brain and Cognitive Sciences, SNU
Vanderbilt University
- Title: Living in the 21st Century With a Stone Age Brain
- Time: 4pm
- Location: Rm 320, Center for Teaching and Learning(CTL) How to get to CTL
The human brain hasn't changed much during the last 5,000 years, yet today we're using our brains in remarkably complex ways never imagined by our remote ancestors. Are there telltale mental signs of our brain's "prehistoric" roots? By demonstrating some of the mind's accomplishments and some of its limitations, I will argue that the answer is "yes." Particular examples will be drawn from visual perception, reasoning, learning and remembering.

Moo K. Chung
Brain and Cognitive Sciences, SNU
University of Wisconsin-Madison
- Title: Computational Challenges in Brain Imaging
- Time: 4pm
- Location: Mok-am Hall, Bldg. 501
Computational neuroanatomy is an emerging .eld that utilizes various non-invasive brain imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in quantifying the spatiotemporal dynamics of the human brain structures in both normal and clinical populations in macroscopic level. This discipline emerged about twenty years ago and has made substantial progress in the past decade. It usually deals with computational problems arising from the quanti.cation of within- and between-subject variations associated with the structure and the function of the human brain. Major challenges in the .eld are caused by the massive amount of nonstandard high dimensional non-Euclidean imaging data that are difficult to analyze using traditional methods. This requires new computational solutions that incorporates geometric and topological nature of brain structures. Overview of various computational issues in neuroanatomy will be presented with example studies on autism.
