My recent projects have explored the ways in which we build up this schematic knowledge (during a single experiment and across developmental timescales) and can strategically deploy these cognitive maps to construct event representations that we can store in memory or use to make predicti ons. I will describe my lab's ongoing work developing new experimental and analysis techniques for conducting functional MRI experiments using movie s\, poetry\, games\, virtual reality\, and 'memory experts' to study compl ex naturalistic schemas.\n\nBio: Chris Baldassano received his PhD in Comp uter Science from Stanford University\, and was a postdoc at Princeton Uni versity before starting his current position as an Assistant Professor in the Columbia University Psychology Department. His lab investigates how re alistic experiences are divided into events\, summarized\, associated\, an d recalled using complex naturalistic stimuli such as narratives\, movies\ , games\, and virtual reality.\n\nThe Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014) \, Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984)\, to constantly bridge the cli nical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances an d discoveries in neuropsychology\, cognitive neuroscience\, and neuroimagi ng.\n\nSpeakers will include scientists from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from around the world. The serie s is intended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and trainees to co ntinue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive disorders.\n DTSTART:20210331T200000Z DTEND:20210331T210000Z SUMMARY:Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind Lecture Series: Cognitive maps: spac es\, semantics\, games\, and development URL:/neuro/channels/event/feindel-virtual-brain-and-mi nd-lecture-series-cognitive-maps-spaces-semantics-games-and-development-32 9957 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
