Using a brain-computer interface, a team of researchers has reconstructed English words from the brain activity of rhesus macaques that listened as the words were spoken. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-12/bu-rrs121319.php

When you listen to music, multiple areas of your brain become engaged and active. But when you actually play an instrument, that activity becomes more like a full-body brain workout. What’s going on?

2020 Summer School in Social Neuroscience and Neuroeconomics

Reminder that applications are due by January 1 for the 2020 Summer School in Social Neuroscience and Neuroeconomics (June 8-13) hosted at Duke: https://www.socialneuroecon.school/2020

There is no cost to attend the school; registration, lodging, and reasonable travel expenses will be covered for all attendees. The school is open to post-baccs, grad students, post-docs, and junior faculty.

Priority will be given to individuals with research programs currently focused on improving health and well being in old age or who have plans to extend their work into this area (the school is funded by a grant from the National Institute on Aging). Individuals from backgrounds that are underrepresented in science are strongly encouraged to apply.

If you are hesitant to apply because travel is complicated while you have an infant or small children, we will do everything we can to accommodate you. If there is interest, we will provide child care during the days and can provide space and time during the events for nursing and/or other childcare-related activities. If needed, we can express ship your pumped milk home to an infant using Milk Stork.

If you missed the initial announcement, don’t worry - the application is one paragraph and we don’t request recommendation letters unless there is a multi-way tie for a spot. It should take about 20 minutes or less to apply, If you are local (Duke, UNC, etc) and won’t require lodging, you still need to complete an application to be able to attend.

Hope to see you this summer at Duke!
