= 1st Brainstorm User Symposium = == Paris, August 31 2012 (10am -11:30am): == === a selection of recent research from Brainstorm users === This event is part of [[WorkshopBiomag2012|Brainstorm's Training Session]] (satellite of Biomag2012) [[http://www.giraud.ens.fr/people.php?id=8|Katia Lehongre]] (Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France) . Altered low-γ sampling in auditory cortex accounts for the three main facets of dyslexia.

Wavelet-based localization of oscillatory and synchronous sources in Brainstorm [[https://pantherfile.uwm.edu/fjh/www/helmlab/research/index.html|Nicholas Balderston]] (University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee) . '''Rapid Amygdala Responses during Trace Fear cConditioning without Awareness''' . ''Understanding the nature of human consciousness is one of the fundamental goals of psychological research. Recent studies of consciousness and learning suggest that learning the relationship between two temporally separated events requires the individual to hold one event in working memory, and that this maintenance requires conscious awareness. In trace fear conditioning a neutral stimulus (CS) predicts the occurrence of an aversive outcome (UCS) after a brief stimulus free period (trace interval). This type of learning requires the amygdala. Given that this structure is also sensitive to face stimuli, we hypothesized that amygdala activity may be capable of maintaining a representation of a face CS during a brief trace interval.''

''EEG remains one of the easiest and most robust techniques to study infants' cognition. However, this infant age presents several particularities increasing the difficulties of EEG studies relative to adults (movement artefacts, immaturity and small size of the brain structures, fontanella in skull, etc..). I will present several studies in speech perception showing the advantages of EEG to decipher infant's cognition and how Brainstorm brings numerous advantages when we deal with a difficult population, such as infants.''<
