Talk by Dominik Bach (London): "Learning to predict threat: computation, circuits, and interference"
last modified Nov 05, 2019 03:44Affective Neuroscience and Psychophysiology Colloquium Dominik Bach (London) 12.11.2019 18:00 - 20:00 — GEMI, Room 1.134, Gosslerstr. 14, Goettingen Learning to predict threat: computation, circuits, and interference Correct prediction of threat is key to survival and to well-being. Anxiety disorders entail threat-related behaviours in the absence of threat. In my talk, I will focus on the cross-species paradigm of ...
Talk by Davide Gheza (Ghent) "Reward and motivational processes during performance monitoring: a psychophysiological approach"

Talk by Dominik Bach (Zürich): "Action-selection under threat: algorithms and neural circuits"
last modified Feb 05, 2019 03:31Affective Neuroscience and Psychophysiology & RTG2070 Colloquium Dominik Bach (University of Zürich) 09.01.2019 18:00 - 20:00 — GEMI, Raum 1.134 Appropriate behaviour under threat is key to survival. In my talk, I will ask what are the computational algorithms and neural controllers by which biological agents decide on what to do, and how. Non-human animal data tentatively suggest a specific architecture that relies ...
Talk by András Zsidó (Pécs): "The effects of threatening stimuli on visual search performance"
last modified Feb 05, 2019 03:29The effects of threatening stimuli on visual search performance GEMI, Room 1.110 6.00 - 8.00 pm András Zsidó (University of Pécs, Hungary) A large body of research suggests that threatening stimuli with evolutionary history have an advantage in visual processing. However, recent evidence indicates that modern threatening stimuli can have the same effect. Nonetheless, the results are often mixed. I will argue that prev ...
