Feb. 2, 2024

Staff Scientist 1 (Section on Affective Neuroscience and Pain) Application Deadline: April 4, 2024 Program Overview The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) invites applications for a staff scientist focused on neuroimaging methods and analysis, with a particular focus on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The successful candidate will work with the Section on Affective Neuroscience and Pain<https://www.nccih.nih.gov/research/intramural/section-on-affective-neurosci…> (SANP; Principal Investigator Lauren Atlas, Ph.D.) as part of a growing research program focused on identifying brain mechanisms underlying psychological modulation of pain and emotion in health and disease. SANP is part of NCCIH’s Division of Intramural Research and affiliated with the Intramural Research Programs of the National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH) and National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The successful candidate will work closely with the Principal Investigator and fellows to advance SANP’s research program through data acquisition, data analysis and curation, and mentorship of trainees. Ongoing projects examine relationships between pain and emotion, how expectations shape learning and pain, and how social factors shape clinical outcomes.

Feb. 2, 2024

(Apologies for cross-posting) We are delighted to welcome applications for the first edition of the Birmingham-Leiden summer school in Computational Social Cognition (CSC). <https://www.compsoccog.com/> The summer school is hosted at the University of Birmingham (UK), in collaboration with Leiden University (NL), and will take place from 15th-17th July 2024. Apply by 14th March 2024 (see information below)! In the past decade, computational modelling has been extremely helpful in explaining various concepts and processes in social cognition, and these modelling frameworks include the reinforcement learning models, Bayesian learning models, models of theory of mind, models of effort discounting, and drift diffusion models. This timely summer school will provide talks and training on these latest developments focusing on learning, decision-making and computational modelling in social cognition, as well as topics covering theoretical issues in social cognition. Attending the Birmingham-Leiden CSC Summer School will equip a diverse cohort of early career researchers (trainees through to junior faculty members) with the ability to understand, program and interpret the output of a range of computational models of social cognition. Attendees will receive different types of training aimed at understanding modelling as well as the theoretical and practical inferences that can be drawn from computational models. For more information about this year’s training program, including criteria and application instructions, please visit our website <https://www.compsoccog.com/>. The deadline is March 14, 2024. We hope to see you this summer in Birmingham!

your podcast, CPG in spinal cord, etc
by Zhaoping Li Feb. 2, 2024

Feb. 2, 2024

Dear Gaute, How are you? I assume that your podcast is taking off? I am looking you up also to let you know that perhaps next summer we could meet up at Oslo, we are teaching at Yasser's summer school and then go to Svalbard. It will be around July 24-25th or something when we pass by Oslo on our way to Svalbard I noticed that your podcast had a new episode, on CPG in spinal cord, with guest Henrik Linden. I am just listening to it now. Your intro said that they used a network model to explain that oscillations emerge in a network. We did it in a Physical Review Letter paper in 2004, see //Zhaoping L. Lewis A. Scarpetta S. Mathematical analysis and simulations of the neural circuit for locomotion in lamprey. <https://www.lizhaoping.org/zhaoping/prints/ZhaopingPRL2004.pdf>Physical Review Letters 92, 198106 (2004). Abstract <https://www.lizhaoping.org/zhaoping/prints/ZhaopingPRL2004.abstract.html> //I remember that in a meeting organized by Stan Grillner, I presented this work and you told me that Dayan and Abbott should put this in their textbook in the next edition. Well, the next edition never happened. I wonder whether Linden's model is an extension of our model, I had a quick look, it seems that it was mainly a data analysis, while ours is a analytical treatment with simulations, but I am listening to your podcast now ... best regards and hope to see you around, are you going to COSYNE? This year it is in Lisbon, so I am going, you? Zhaoping // // -- Li Zhaoping Ph.D. Prof. of Cognitive Science, University of Tuebingen Head of Dept of Sensory and Sensorimotor Systems, Max Planck Institute of Biological Cybernetics Author of "Understanding vision: theory, models, and data", Oxford University Press, 2014 www.lizhaoping.org
