Alexithymia and atypical interoception in Autism Spectrum Disorder. Dr Geoff Bird. University of Oxford. Host: Dr Dave Moore Room: TRB 1.44
Prof. Kyle Cave, University of Massachusetts:
We are very good at searching for a visual object in a complex scene when we know its colour, because we can quickly guide our eyes and our attention to locations in the scene that have that colour. When we search for either of two different targets, however, we do not always search efficiently, and thus took longer to find the target. In a series of experiments, we found that subjects searching for two different colours often fixated colours that were very different from either target.
The kynurenine pathway and neurodegeneration: from mechanisms to therapeutics. Professor Flaviano Giorgini, University of Leicester. Host: Dr Mirko Pegoraro Room: TRB 1.45
Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience @ LJMU. Speaker: Dr Valentina Cazzato
Molecular and Clinical Pharmacology Seminar Series 2018-2019
Speaker: Dr.Emma Lane
Senior Lecturer in Neuropharmacology
School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Cardiff
Speaker: Dr. Spencer Hayes, University College London. Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by differences in restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests or activities, and persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction. In addition to these core characteristics, it is well reported that autistic people show differences in sensorimotor functioning – such […]
How does cognition contribute to the signs and symptoms of chronic pain? Dr Chris Brown. University of Liverpool. Host: Dr Susannah Walker Room: TRB 1.44 (This talk has been rescheduled – previously due to be held in December 2018)
Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience research group meeting. Speaker: Dr Samantha Brooks. Title: Learning from the neural correlates of Anorexia Nervosa about how we might treat Substance Use Disorder. The rising trend of internationally competitive research into the cognitive control of impulsivity reflects the importance of examining the neural mechanisms of impulse control. The rising trend might […]
Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience @ LJMU. Speaker: Nicola Jones Nicola’s interests include learning, memory and attention, and how these processes are represented behaviourally and at a neural level in both typical and atypical populations. Her PhD research was focused on investigating the effects of glucoregulation on memory and face recognition in older adults.
Genomes, Systems and Therapeutic Targeting Seminar Series.
Speaker: Dr Atul Kumar, Dundee University
Stergios Makris, Edge Hill University Motor resonance as an implicit measure of bias
Tom Moore – MCP Seminar
In the Centre for Attention Learning and Memory (CALM) weadopt a novel transdiagnostic approach to illuminating the cognitive, neural and behavioural dimensions of specific learning difficulties. In this talk I will present an overview of the CALM clinic and discuss two approaches to identifying the cognitive dimensions of learning problems in literacy and maths.
A unique opportunity to learn how preclinical imaging resources at UOL can help your research! Including: MRI, PET, CT, SPECT & more.
You are invited to this year’s first Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience seminar. The speaker will be Dr Sylvia Terbeck from LJMU. The seminar will start at 1:15 pm. All are welcome. Location is Tom Reilly Building, room 143.
This event has been cancelled due to the Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic. Details of future Liverpool Neuroscience Group meetings will be announced via our mailing list.

Carlo Semenza (University of Padua) The role of the right hemisphere in calculation: evidence from clinical and instrumental studies. Carlo Semenza is neuropsychologist and cognitive neuroscientist, primarily interested in aphasiology, neuropsychology of language, and numerical cognition. He has published several studies underlining the need to better characterise the role of right-hemisphere in numerical processing. Please register in advance […]
