Change Your Brain by Transforming Your Mind
Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture in the Science of Complementary Health Therapies
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
In this talk, Dr. Davidson will present an overview of studies conducted in his laboratory on neural changes associated with different forms of meditation. Distinctions among three major forms of meditation practice will be made: Focused Attention, Open Monitoring, and Positive Affect Training. These different forms of meditation have different neural and behavioral effects. From the perspective of Western neuroscience, different forms of meditation can be conceptualized a...

Marijuana and Cannabinoids: A Neuroscience Research Summit (Day 2)
To ask QUESTIONS during the Q&A sessions:
Twitter: @NIDAnews or #MJNeuroSummit
Marijuana and Cannabinoids: A Neuroscience Research Summit is being convened by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which will focus on the neurological and psychiatric effects of marijuana, other cannabinoids, and the endocannabinoid system. Both the adverse and the potential therapeutic effects of the cannabinoid system will be discussed. The goal of this summit is to ensure evidence-based information is available to inform practice and policy, particularly important at this time given the rapidly shifting landscape regarding the recr...

From Cognitive-type Microcircuits to Large-scale Modeling of the Primate Cortex
NIH Neuroscience Seminar Series
Research in Dr. Wang’s group aims at understanding dynamical behavior and function of neural circuits. Using theoretical and modeling approaches, in close collaboration with experimentalists, they investigate the neural mechanisms and computational principles of cognitive processes, such as decision-making (how we make a choice among multiple options) and working memory (how our brain holds and manipulates information "online" in the absence of sensory stimulation).
Dr. Wang’s lab has been focused on the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which is often called "the CEO of the brain". They are in...

Video Games and Neuroscience: A Vision of the Future of Medicine and Education
2015-2016 BSSR Lecture Series
A fundamental challenge for modern society is the development of effective approaches to enhance brain function and cognition in both healthy and impaired individuals. Innovative neuroscientist, Adam Gazzaley, will describe an approach developed in his lab that uses custom-designed video games to achieve meaningful and sustainable cognitive enhancement. He will also share the next stage of his research program, which uses video games integrated with technological innovations in software (e.g., brain computer interface algorithms, GPU computing) and hardware (e.g., virtual reality headsets, m...
