We sought to in- Connectivity vestigate how age-related changes in self-appraisal processes corresponded with brain network segregation and Default mode network integration in healthy adolescents and young adults. We scanned 88 participants (46 female), aged from 15 to 25 Functional MRI years, as they performed a self-appraisal task. We first examined their patterns of activation to self-appraisal, and Self replicated prior reports of reduced dorsomedial prefrontal cortex activation with older age, with similar re- ductions in precuneus, right anterior insula/operculum, and a region extending from thalamus to striatum. -

Phd Position on the Sensorimotor and Social Mechanisms of Hallucinations in Healthy Participants and Patients with Parkinson’S Disease
PhD position on the sensorimotor and social mechanisms of hallucinations in healthy participants and patients with Parkinson’s Disease. Prof. Olaf Blanke Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland The LaBoratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, directed By Olaf Blanke (https://www.epfl.ch/laBs/lnco/), has an open position for a PhD student on the investigation of the sensorimotor and social brain mechanisms of a specific hallucination (presence hallucination; Blanke et al., Current Biology 2014; Arzy et al., Nature 2006) in healthy participants and in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The project will couple roBotics, virtual reality (VR), experimental psychology, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and is part of a larger research project on hallucinations. Most patients with PD are not only affected by motor symptoms (e.g., tremor), but also experience hallucinations as a symptom of the disease (Lenka et al., Neurology 2019). Despite the high prevalence of patients with hallucinations, the neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. By comBining MRI-compatible roBotics (Hara et al., J Neuroscience Methods 2014) and MRI-compatible VR, the present project plans to investigate how sensorimotor and social stimulation can induce and mimic symptomatic hallucinations (in patients with PD and in healthy participants) in a fully controlled environment. The ideal candidate should have a Master degree (or equivalent) in computer science, neuroscience, medicine, psychology, or engineering, Be strongly motivated with a keen interest in cognitive-systems neuroscience and neuroimaging/signal analysis. A strong neuroimaging background (fMRI), previous research experience in the experimental psychology, and/or strong programming skills (Matlab, python, etc.) are a plus. -

Developmental Dynamics: Toward a Biologically Plausible Evolutionary Psychology
Psychological Bulletin Copyright 2003 by the American Psychological Association, Inc. 2003, Vol. 129, No. 6, 819–835 0033-2909/03/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/0033-2909.129.6.819 Developmental Dynamics: Toward a Biologically Plausible Evolutionary Psychology Robert Lickliter Hunter Honeycutt Florida International University Indiana University Bloomington There has been a conceptual revolution in the biological sciences over the past several decades. Evidence from genetics, embryology, and developmental biology has converged to offer a more epigenetic, contingent, and dynamic view of how organisms develop. Despite these advances, arguments for the heuristic value of a gene-centered, predeterministic approach to the study of human behavior and development have become increasingly evident in the psychological sciences during this time. In this article, the authors review recent advances in genetics, embryology, and developmental biology that have transformed contemporary developmental and evolutionary theory and explore how these advances challenge gene-centered explanations of human behavior that ignore the complex, highly coordinated system of regulatory dynamics involved in development and evolution. The prestige of success enjoyed by the gene theory might become a evolutionary psychology assert that applying insights from evolu- hindrance to the understanding of development by directing our tionary theory to explanations of human behavior will stimulate attention solely to the genome....Already we have theories that refer more fruitful research programs and provide a powerful frame- the processes of development to genic action and regard the whole work for discovering evolved psychological mechanisms thought performance as no more than the realization of the potencies of the genes. Such theories are altogether too one-sided. -

3. Memory Enhancement and Cognitive Engineering
3. Memory enhancement and cognitive engineering By Olaf Blanke (Professor and Bertarelli Chair in Cognitive Neuroprosthetics, EPFL), Baptiste Gauthier (Senior Researcher, EPFL) with contributions through interviews from Itzhak Fried (Professor at the Brain Research Institute, University of California Los Angeles), Johannes Gräff (Professor at the Laboratory of Neuroepigenetics) , Bryan Johnson (CEO, Kernel) and Michael Kahana (Professor for Computational Memory, University of Pennsylvania) and edited by Moheb Costandi. Key Concepts Deep Brain Stimulation is an experimental surgical procedure that involves chronic implantation of stimulating wire electrodes into deep brain structures. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Deep Brain Stimulation as a treatment for the motor symptoms of movement disorders in 1997, and since then the technique has been used to treat approximately 150,000 Parkinson’s Disease patients. It is also being used experimentally to treat various psychiatric conditions, including major depressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Optogenetics is an experimental technique that offers by far the most sophisticated approach to manipulating memories. Developed over the past 15 years, optogenetics involves targeting specific neuronal cell types with genetic constructs containing light-sensitive algal genes. The constructs render specific, genetically targeted sub-sets of neurons sensitive to light, so that they can be activated or inhibited with light pulses delivered into the brain by means of optical fibres. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation stimulates brain activity by inducing a magnetic field that modulates the activity of neuronal populations within a targeted region of the cerebral cortex. Developed in 1985, the technique is being investigated as a treatment for various psychiatric conditions and received FDA approval as a treatment for drug-resistant major depression in 2008. -
The 100 Most Eminent Psychologists of the 20Th Century
Review of General Psychology Copyright 2002 by the Educational Publishing Foundation 2002, Vol. 6, No. 2, 139–152 1089-2680/02/$5.00 DOI: 10.1037//1089-2680.6.2.139 The 100 Most Eminent Psychologists of the 20th Century Steven J. Haggbloom Renee Warnick, Jason E. Warnick, Western Kentucky University Vinessa K. Jones, Gary L. Yarbrough, Tenea M. Russell, Chris M. Borecky, Reagan McGahhey, John L. Powell III, Jamie Beavers, and Emmanuelle Monte Arkansas State University A rank-ordered list was constructed that reports the first 99 of the 100 most eminent psychologists of the 20th century. Eminence was measured by scores on 3 quantitative variables and 3 qualitative variables. The quantitative variables were journal citation frequency, introductory psychology textbook citation frequency, and survey response frequency. The qualitative variables were National Academy of Sciences membership, election as American Psychological Association (APA) president or receipt of the APA Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award, and surname used as an eponym. The qualitative variables were quantified and combined with the other 3 quantitative variables to produce a composite score that was then used to construct a rank-ordered list of the most eminent psychologists of the 20th century. The discipline of psychology underwent a eve of the 21st century, the APA Monitor (“A remarkable transformation during the 20th cen- Century of Psychology,” 1999) published brief tury, a transformation that included a shift away biographical sketches of some of the more em- from the European-influenced philosophical inent contributors to that transformation.
