报告题目：Resting Brain Networks of  Insight

报告人：Hualou  Liang，PhD，Drexel  University

报告摘要：Insight is a sudden  comprehension — also called the ‘‘Aha! moment’’— that can result in a solution  to a problem, understanding of a joke or metaphor, new interpretation of a  situation, and a resolution of ambiguous percept. Insight is an important form  of cognition and creativity. Recently, the techniques of cognitive neuroscience  including electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging  (fMRI) have been available for studying the neural correlates of the insight.  Much has been focused on the goal-oriented, event-related cognitive processes.  Very little, however, is known about the influence of spontaneous, resting  brain-state on the subjects’ subsequent strategy choices. In this presentation I  will discuss, from the perspective of brain functional networks, how the  resting-state activity influences the cognitive strategies people use to solve  problems, in particular, the general strategies which result in problem  solutions derived either by analytic processing or by sudden  insight. 

报告人简介：Dr. Liang is Associate  Professor with tenure in theSchool of  Biomedical Engineering, Sciences and Health SystemsatDrexel  University. Before  joiningDrexelUniversity, he was an Associate Professor with tenure atThe  University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.  His graduate training is in signal processing  fromDalian  University of Technology, and  his PhD is on neural networks in physics fromChinese  Academy of Sciences,China.  After completing his PhD, he performed three postdoctoral research periods  inTel-Aviv  University, Israel,Max-Planck-Institute  for Biological Cybernetics,  Germany, and theCenter  for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences,Florida  Atlantic University, USA in order to gain  expertise in neural modeling and neurobiology. His research experience  throughout the years ranges from areas in biomedical signal processing to  cognitive and computational neuroscience. He has been serving at several  editorial boards and the grant review panels for both federal agencies including  NIH and NSF, and private foundations.
