Schedule in December 2016The 31st Perceptual Frontier Seminar: Temporal Organization in the BrainDate and time: Thursday, 15 December 2016, 14:00-16:00 Time takes many different forms, but different temporal forms tend to be united into a single time. This is also the case in our brain. The newest topics related to this issue will be presented in order to find new connections between different frontiers. Program1. Assimilation and contrast between two adjacent time intervals marked by sound bursts 2. Somatosensory evoked field in response to visuo-tactile stimuli presented to young children 3. Temporal averaging and cross-modal assimilation 4. Neural correlates of perceptual inequality in auditory temporal assimilation paradigm Auditory Research Meeting, the Acoustical Society of JapanDate: Saturday and Sunday, 17-18 December 2016 The English session includes an Invited Lecture by Prof. Lihan Chen. A banquet will be held in the evening of 17 October 2016. With regard to banquet reservation, please get in contact with Dr. Aiba <aiba.eriko [at] uec.ac.jp> and Dr. Ueda <ueda [at] design.kyushu-u.ac.jp> until 12 December 2016. "Temporal perceptual grouping and transfer in a multisensory context" 1 School of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences, Peking University, Beijing, China Multisensory processing within seconds is pivotal for many perceptual and cognitive tasks. Here we adopted the research paradigms of temporal ventriloquism, priming and illusory (auditory) gap transfer to address the guiding principles of intra-modal and cross-modal temporal perceptual grouping. We used methods of psychophysics, fMRI and MEG to investigate the (ensemble) coding of temporal events and the underpinning neural signatures. The accumulated evidence has also shown that our brain takes a centralized temporal representation and the benefits of temporal training of events in one sensory modality could be quickly transferred to another modality.
