We founded NMA with the goal of tackling these problems by providing online\, globally-accessible high-quality computational neuroscience training at a low\, waivable cost ($100USD or less) so that any student with the appropriate background and skillset to participate would be able to join. In its inaugural year\, NMA’s 3-week summer intensive program enrolled 1700+ students supported by 190+ teaching assistants from 60+ countries\, provided instruction in 14 languages\, and built an organizers’ community of over 300 neuroscience academics worldwide. Over 85% of enrolled students completed the course. Now\, we are designing new evaluation metrics to understand which elements worked best\, to continually improve\, and to understand how online learning can be optimized to best reach students across geographic\, political\, socioeconomic\, and linguistic barriers worldwide. So now we ask you: What would you like to see\, and how can NMA best pilot and optimize educational innovations that can be applied to other areas or fields? \nAbout the Speaker: Megan Peters is an Assistant Professor of Cognitive Sciences at UC Irvine and the President and co-founder of Neuromatch\, a nonprofit organization that provides online computational neuroscience education through the Neuromatch Academy (NMA) summer school. Peters’ academic research is on metacognition\, perception\, and consciousness with focus on computational and cognitive neuroscience methods in humans. She received her PhD in Psychology from UCLA in 2014 which was followed by a postdoc there\, and from 2017-2020 she was on the Bioengineering faculty at UC Riverside before moving to UC Irvine Cognitive Sciences in 2020. At NMA\, she is the President and Chairperson of the Board and is involved in curriculum development\, operations\, and evaluation among wearing many other “hats”. \n  \nRegister in advance to attend this meeting (unless already registered for DLL meetings this year) \nhttps://uci.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0sf-GsqTguGN1FP3nGFs_M43Eb6cyX9F7Y URL:https://brain.uci.edu/event/neuromatch-academy-democratizing-computational-neuroscience-education-through-interactive-intensive-instruction/ LOCATION:Irvine\, CA\, 92697\, United States CATEGORIES:All,Community,Scientific ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210406T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210406T120000 DTSTAMP:20260428T094257 CREATED:20210105T172111Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210105T172111Z UID:10000201-1617706800-1617710400@brain.uci.edu SUMMARY:CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Kate M. Wassum\, Ph.D. DESCRIPTION:Amygdala-cortical circuitry in reward learning and pursuit \nTo make adaptive decisions we must cast ourselves into the future and consider the outcomes of our potential choices. This prospective consideration is informed by our memories. I will discuss our lab’s recent work investigating the neural circuits responsible for encoding\, updating\, and retrieving reward memories for use in the considerations underlying decision making. We have taken a multifaceted approach to these investigations\, combining recording\, modern circuit dissection\, and behavioral tools. Our results indicate that the orbitofrontal cortex and basolateral amygdala work in a reciprocal circuit to mediate in these functions. The cognitive symptoms underlying many psychiatric disorders result from a failure to appropriately learn about and/or anticipate potential future events\, making these basic science data relevant to the understanding and potential treatment of mental illness.
