NIF Webinar - April 17, 2012 at 11:00 PDT

Hello everyone,

Please mark your calendars.

The next NIF Webinar will be held on  Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 11:00 am PDT.   Please join Dr. Gwen Frishkoff as she discusses Harmonizing the Representation of Cognitive Processes.

The following is a description of the webinar:

Dr. Frishkoff will discuss harmonization of NEMO, a formal ontology for studies of human electrophysiology, and cogPO, an ontology of cognitive neuroscience protocols (experiment design) that is based on BrainMap. The goal of  integrating NEMO and cogPO is to create a framework to support valid mappings from brain to mental functioning. Mental functions are inferred from measurements of brain and behavioral data within specific experiment contexts. Thus, in order to create an ontology for mental functioning that is evidence-based, it will be important to consider the logical and empirical bases for these inferences. We will discuss some insights that could be gained by representing brain data within a formal ontology that also captures the experimental context for these measures in a fine-grained, analytic way.

Date and Time: Tuesday, April 17, 2012 • 11:00-12:00 PDT
