Martin Ip Linguistic Data Consortium University of Pennsylvania Searching for the “Edges” of Speech: How Prosody and Speaker Identity Support Language Processing Human speech contains a continual cascade of information, from the physical properties of the speech sounds to the sequencing of words and the wider discourse context. To anticipate the likely continuations […]

Silvia Finnemann Bepler Chair in Biology Department of Biological Sciences Fordham University Photoreceptor outer renewal: molecular mechanisms and link to retinal disease Routine diurnal photoreceptor outer segment renewal is a fundamental homeostatic process in the vertebrate retina. The talk will focus on molecules and pathways that mediate cross-talk between photoreceptors and neighboring retinal […]
Andre Fenton Center for Neural Science NYU Cognition in the noise: remembering, remapping, and reframing cognition dynamics How do we learn and know? For much of my career it was assumed that neurons respond to external stimuli as if to represent them. However, an equally plausible idea asserts that neuronal activity models experience […]
