DSh 2016 09 30 The building blocks of metacognition Research group EXTO Name(s) of the VUB organizer(s) dr. Kobe Desender (COPS, PE) Prof. dr. Frank Van Overwalle (SOPS, PE) Prof dr. Eva Van den Bussche (COPS, PE) Academic field(s) in which the activity is situated Professor Steve Fleming leads a cognitive neuroscience lab based at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, University College London. His research focuses on understanding the human brain's capacity for metacognition and self-awareness, and how these mechanisms are altered in disorders of mental health. He combines theoretical models with a range of behavioural and cognitive neuroscience approaches including functional and structural MRI, TMS, M/EEG and eye tracking. He is strongly committed to translating our research findings into benefits for mental health and wider society. Relevance for the VUB PhD community The main research focus of the Cognitive Psychology group (COPS, EXTO) is on cognitive control and metacognition, with a special focus on brain functioning. Because of Professor Fleming his extensive expertise on the neural correlates of metacognition (with e.g., a seminal paper published in Science in 2010), his work will be of great value to PhD students working on this topic, and also more generally for students who perform neurocognitive research. Detailed format of the activity Professor Fleming will provide an overview of his previous and current work, which will be accessible to a broad public (ZAP, PhD, Master-students). There will also be room afterwards for students to personally discuss their own research with Professor Fleming. Timing/planning of activity 30 September 2016: 10u00 public lecture of Professor Fleming Registration by sending an email to Contact person Kobe Desender : [email protected] Target audience Master students, Phd Students and ZAP.
