Stories of Women in NeuroscienceDr. Kia Nobre on her contribution to understanding the human mind through one of the biggest breakthroughs in human neuroscienceWhen Kia Nobre left her family home in Brazil to go to university in Massachusetts, she could never have known where her passion for science would eventually take her. After falling in love with neuroscience in undergrad at Williams College, Kia ended up pursuing a PhD at Yale where she studied human language processing, long term potentiation in animal models, and even was able to work with some of the first fMRI data ever collected. In her two postdocs, she continued to use fMRI to study global theories of cognition and attention. Kia eventually came to the UK as...2021-11-1850 min
NYUAD InstitutePerception Where Past and Future Meet2017.02.13
We take our perception as truth. But what ends up in our mindscape is far from veridical. We are fooled in many ways. We believe our perception is complete, giving us access to all of the rich details of our external environment as it unfolds. We believe our perception is reactive, with incoming sensory stimulation initiating activity in our brain. We assume our perception starts and lives in the present, bringing in the unravelling world afresh. Drawing from experiments in cognitive neuroscience, this lecture shows us how these strong intuitions are illusory and argues that a much more limited and...2017-04-2453 min

Redes (Eduard Punset)El cerebro y su construcción de la realidad (Redes #108)Solemos pensar que nuestra percepción del mundo es mucho más completa de lo que es en realidad. Sentimos que registramos lo que pasa en nuestro entorno al igual que una cámara de vídeo, pero lo que sucede es muy distinto.
Eduard Punset viajó a Mallorca para entrevistar a algunos de los neurocientíficos más destacados del mundo que se habían reunido en el undécimo Congreso Internacional de Neurociencia Cognitiva. En este capítulo de Redes, Kia Nobre, neurocientífica de la Universidad de Oxford, nos explica algunos de los recursos que utiliza el cerebro par...2011-10-3126 min
