Seminar Series in Neuroscience and Neuropsychology
November - December 2020 The Psychology Department of CITY College invites you to join the Online Seminar Series in Neuroscience and Neuropsychology featuring distinguished invited speakers from top universities to elaborate on the topic from different perspectives. Who should attend: The seminars are addressed to psychologists and psychology students. Online Participation Form Join the Webinars Our Psychology Department continues to offer the Personal and Professional Development Seminar Series in Neuroscience and Neuropsychology online, with great success. Dr. Athena Demertzi, Tenured Researcher at the GIGA Research Institute University of Liege (BE), presented the seminar: WED 18 NOVEMBER 2020 | 16.00-19.00 EET Consciousness - Behavior and neural correlates Dr Athena Demertzi Tenured Researcher at GIGA Research Institute University of Liege (BE) Seminar Overview: The neural correlates of consciousness constitute the minimal set of neuronal events and mechanisms sufficient for a specific conscious percept. Empirical approaches to discover neural correlates of subjective phenomena will be discussed in this lecturer; that is, neural changes which necessarily and regularly correlate with a specific experience. Join and share! WED 25 NOVEMBER 2020 | 16.00-19.00 EET New developments in neurofeedback research Dr Eddy Davelaar Reader in Psychology at Birkbeck University of London (UK) Seminar Overview: Neurofeedback (NFB), also called neurotherapy or neurobiofeedback, is a type of biofeedback that uses real-time displays of brain activity—most commonly electroencephalography (EEG)—in an attempt to teach self-regulation of brain function. In this lecture we are going to discover the state of the art in neurofeedback research. Join and share! WED 2 DECEMBER 2020 | 16.00-19.00 EET Cognitive Rehabilitation and Neuroimaging after Stroke Dr Rosalia Dacosta Aguayo Researcher at University of Barcelona (ES) Seminar Overview: A stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain causes cell death. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. Both cause parts of the brain to stop functioning properly. In this lecture we are going to explore potential neuromarkers that indicate good cognitive rehabilitation after stroke based on neuroimaging findings. Join and share! WED 9 DECEMBER 2020 | 16.00-19.00 EET Human multisensory perception and neurocognitive development across the lifespan Prof. Shu Chen Li Professor in Neuroscience at Technical University of Dresden (DE) Seminar Overview: Daily life confronts us with information across multiple senses in parallel and we must somehow unite these sensations into a coherent interpretation of the world. This lecture will explain how the human brain comes to develop this complex ability, and how brain can come to experience multisensory integration in remarkable ways. Join and share! WED 16 DECEMBER 2020 | 16.00-18.00 EET Elders’ Brain Dr Valia Rodriguez Lecturer in Neuropyshiology, Aston University (UK) Seminar Overview: Ageing causes changes to the brain size, vasculature, and cognition. The brain shrinks with increasing age and there are changes at all levels from molecules to morphology. Incidence of stroke, white matter lesions, and dementia also rise with age, as does level of memory impairment and there are changes in levels of neurotransmitters and hormones. In this lecture we are going to discuss these changes and how they affect elders’ performance. Join and share! 18.00-19.00 EET Youthful Brains in Older Adults Dr Alexandra Touroutoglou Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School (USA) Seminar Overview: Decline in cognitive skills, especially in memory, is often viewed as part of “normal” aging. Yet some individuals “age better” than others. In this lecture we will examine the hypothesis if superagers (older individuals with youthful memory performance) would exhibit preserved neuroanatomy in key brain networks subserving memory.

The English Studies Department Concurs with Building a Sense-of-Belonging
Have you ever wondered what can help us grow as individuals, build attachments, communicate effectively, form identities, manage loneliness and, overall, help us live longer? Insights to these areas and more were provided in the Personal and Professional Development Seminar series offered by the English Studies Department. The seminar delivered today, Tuesday, 3rd November 2020, by Academic Director of Undergraduate Programmes and Lecturer in the Psychology Department, CITY College, Dr Vassilis Chatzimpyros, provides insights to the above questions in the seminar titled: “Sense of belonging: Challenges in connecting within a cyber world”; a seminar that appears even more relevant and timely given the reality we have been and are currently facing. Drawing on scientific studies, Dr Chatzimpyros informs that longevity is observed and can be achieved via healthy instances of sense of belonging, in other words interpersonal relationships (family, friends, colleagues, etc) and group memberships that come to fulfill our basic need as humans, that of being social – amongst others – and that of interaction and communication. It is by establishing a sense of belonging that we build our identity, and we develop that identity through a sense of belonging. As humans, we may and can belong to various social groups that give us a sense of who we are, that offer support and act as a protection mechanism. In these groups, we form attachments on many different levels that also contribute to our sense of belonging. As Dr Chatzimpyros informs, a lack of sense of belonging can certainly result in feelings of loneliness, detachment and feeling disconnected. These feelings can further contribute to the development of stress, anxiety, depression, frustration and even helplessness. One should also be wary of instances of a fake idea of sense of belonging. The Internet and social media may have originally assisted in dispersing information and keeping people connected, but they can also contribute to this sense of detachment, feeling disconnected, lonely and may even prompt individuals to develop an identity clash. Dr Chatzimpyros emphasizes that if social media are used for two hours or more daily that can increase social anxiety, lower one’s self-esteem and increase chances of social isolation. This of course is not simply due to the overexposure we all have to the internet and social media given COVID-19 and the pandemic restrictions, but it ties back to developing an addiction to our online world and presence. Focusing on this, Dr Chatzimpyros highlights that there can be a clash between the real world and the online world that we as individuals and as group members experience. That clash is intensified if we consider fake realities, photoshopped images, misinformation, overload of information that does not allow us to critically examine and process the information that we come across. As a result, the online world can certainly be a place to establish a sense of belonging, particularly during times when real life social interaction is limited, but it can contribute to online addiction, loneliness, and hinder us from developing an actual and effective sense of belonging. In times of crisis we are more vulnerable on a mental, social, occupational, and even economic level. We are uncertain about the present and future, things are thrown out of balance. It takes courage to state that not everything is ok, that there are not only going to be “happy Instagram moments” and take a step back to re-evaluate our perspectives and consider our response to various situations and how we want to deal with and manage those situations. Sense-of-belonging, as Dr Chatzimpyros confirms, can be that protective factor we need that can be achieved if we: build meaningful connections, foster wellness, find purpose in what we do, embrace healthy thoughts and seek help. *In the spirit of establishing sense-of-belonging, CITY College not only offers its students the opportunity to join groups and expand their group memberships and attachments, it also offers opportunities for networking via seminars offered online and provides counselling services for those seeking help.
