" Temporal logistics in brain functions: implication for temporal cognition"

Virginie van Wassenhoven
Director, NeuroSpin MEG; Group leader, Brain Dynamics
INSERM, France

Virginie van Wassenhove, Director of the NeuroSpin MEG center at INSERM, France will be visiting the Neuro on October 26, 2012.  Dr. van Wassenhove will speak about one goal of time research which is to link the dynamics of brain processes (temporal processes) with the conscious experience of time (time perception). Can distinct neurophysiological markers index the structuring of events in time specifically for temporal cognition? Dr. van Wassenhove will show that the encoding and structuring of events in time capitalize on the natural dynamics of brain processes at an early stage of sensory processing thereby impacting perception at large. The case for multiplex encoding in the brain will be exposed.

Dr. van Wassenhove�s current research interests focus on functional brain dynamics supporting supramodal perception and temporal cognition.
