On behalf of Sen Cheng, Sandhiya Vijayabaskaran and Laurenz Wiskott from the Institute of Neural Computation, Faculty for Computer Science, Ruhr University Bochum, I invite you to attend a new colloquium series "Brains in Space: An Interdisciplinary Research Colloquium on Spatial Navigation".
In this colloquium, speakers will present their research in
various areas of spatial navigation, including behavioral,
neuroscientific, and theoretical approaches. The goal is to foster
interdisciplinary discussions along the lines of the review
article "A Map of Spatial Navigation for Neuroscience"
(Parra-Barrero et al., 2023) that proposes a taxonomy of spatial
navigation processes in mammals. The talks will cover a diverse
range of topics, from the neural underpinnings of navigation to
complex navigation behaviors. Attendees will gain a better
understanding of how the mammalian brain represents and navigates
through space, as well as learn about several cognitive processes
such as learning and memory through the lens of spatial
navigation.
The colloquium takes place virtually on Tuesday's from 16:00 to
17:30 (CEST) and the complete schedule can be found at https://www.ini.rub.de/teaching/courses/colloquium_brains_in_space_an_interdisciplinary_research_colloquium_on_spatial_navigation_summer_term_2024/
. The first talk is on April 16th 2024.
Confirmed speakers: Elizabeth Chrastil, Marko Nardini, Laure Rondi-Reig, Denis Sheynikhovich, Aaron Wilber, Sandhiya Vijayabaskaran, Francesca Sargolini and Eloy Parra Barrero.
This colloquium is open to the public. Please feel free to
forward this information to any of your colleagues who may be
interested.
