各位老师：
您好！由实验室罗跃嘉老师邀请了George Mason University的Raja Parasuraman教授来实验室做报告。信息如下，欢迎感兴趣的老师和同学来听。
报告时间：6月5日下午2点钟
报告地点：小楼三层大会议室
报告题目：Supercharging Cognition: Neuroimaging, Genetic, and Brain Stimulation Studies
报告摘要：People differ in their cognitive abilities. Most of us are average. But some people differ in the extreme, being well above the average in their cognitive skills. They excel in attention, in memory, or in face recognition. How do such cognitive superstars achieve their success? Are they born or made? Are their brains different? And can the rest of us hope to achieve their great heights? Furthermore, can brain stimulation let some individuals become super achievers in cognition? In this talk I describe behavioral, neuroimaging, and genetic studies of individuals who have achieved great heights of cognitive success. I also discuss whether non-invasive brain stimulation can lift the average among us to the highest levels. Can we supercharge cognition?
报告人简介：Raja Parasuraman, Ph.D. has been Professor of Psychology at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA since 2004. In 2007 he was appointed to the position of University Professor. He is Director of the Graduate Program in Human Factors and Applied Cognition and Director of the Center of Excellence in Neuroergonomics, Technology, and Cognition (CENTEC). He is also Chair of the Neuroimaging Core of the Krasnow Institute (NICKI).Raja Parasuraman has long-standing research programs in two fields, human factors and cognitive neuroscience. The first area concerns human performance in human-machine systems, particularly the role of human attention, memory, and vigilance in automated androbotic systems. His second area of research is the cognitive neuroscience of attention, where he has conducted studies using information-processing paradigms, event-related brain potentials and functional brain imaging (PET, fMRI), both in normal populations and in relation to aging and Alzheimer’s disease. He also has a research thrust in the molecular genetics of cognition, specifically attention and working memory. Finally, Dr. Parasuraman has merged his interests in human factors (ergonomics) and cognitive neuroscience by developing the field of neuroergonomics, which he defines as the study of brain and behavior at work.
