报告摘要：
Working memory (WM) is a core ability in human cognition, playing a crucial function in various tasks from perception, attention, to decision making. Although psychological and neural mechanism for WM has been widely studied, how multiple items as well as their relationship are retained and consolidated in WM remain elusive. Motivated by my lab’s previous works revealing the dynamic nature of visual attention, we hypothesize that the temporal dynamics, presumably at hundred-millisecond level, would be an appropriate time scale for multi-item storing and manipulation in WM. In this talk, I will present some experimental evidence supporting this idea. Moreover, we have developed an “dynamic perturbation” approach to manipulate multi-item WM, and a neural network incorporating short-term neural plasticity further verifies our findings. Taken together, multiple items are stored in the neutral network not in a static way but are dynamically refreshed and replayed via short-term neural plasticity at a fine temporal scale.
活动二（座谈会）： Women in Cognitive Neuroscience
时间：2020年12月2日下午16:00-17:00
地点：小红楼305会议室
女科学家已经在学术界各个领域取得了很多的成绩，但是目前女性在高等学历招生、科研活动、以及工作招聘中仍面临很多独特的挑战。我们邀请到几位本领域活跃女科学家，来交流在求学、科研、指导学生中的相关感受和经验。认识并解决女性在科学界的生存发展问题有助于女性资源在科技发展中得到充分发挥和有效利用，是学科发展和社会进步的关键。
欢迎各位同学和老师一起参与讨论分享！不限性别，欢迎不同观点想法讨论交流！
