[BIC-announce] BIC Lecture Series: Winter-2011 Program (Mon-Mar-07, 1pm, de Grandpré Communications Centre: fMRI Studies of How We Compensate When Speech is Difficult To Understand -- Dr. Ingrid Johnsrude)

[Zografos 'Aki' CARAMANOS]

 *BIC Lecture Series: Winter-2011 Program*

The BIC Lecture
Series<http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Seminars/BICLectureSeries>is a
series of informal lectures on brain imaging that is presented at the
McConnell
Brain Imaging Centre <http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Main/HomePage> (*BIC*) of
the Montreal Neurological Institute <http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/> (*MNI*) by
experts in the field; these lectures are open to all.

The Winter-2011 Program of the BIC Lecture Series will feature a number of
presentations examining the use of advanced brain imaging techniques to
better understand the structure and function of the human brain.  The theme
for this season's BIC Lecture Series will be "The Cerebral Cortex" -- with
many of the lectures being aimed at exploring how different structural and
functional imaging techniques are being used to further our understanding of
this most incredible structure.

Please join us for our seventh lecture of the season, which will be held on
Monday, March the 7th, at 1:00 pm in the de Grandpré Communications
Centre<http://neuromedia.mcgill.ca/mnibooking/facdirections/dgccdir.htm>
of
the MNI (3801 University Street, Montreal, QC, H3A 2B4).

This lecture will be given by Dr. Ingrid
Johnsrude<http://psyc.queensu.ca/faculty/johnsrude>,
who will present some of her fMRI evidence for recruitment of cognitive and
top-down processes when listening to speech that is difficult to understand.

We hope to see there!
Zografos Caramanos, Petra Schweinhardt, Amir Shmuel, Sridar Narayanan, and
Jennifer Chew (Organizers)
