Prof Petkov will be giving the following talk: Title: "Neural transformations of vocalizations and auditory sequences into higher= -order structures" Abstract: There is considerable interest in understanding the neural transformations = that occur at every stage in the auditory system. These are no longer thoug= ht to be simply feedforward or unidirectional, but rather are better concei= ved of as bidirectional processes and interactions that occur at every stag= e in the auditory system and influence sensory processing and expectation. = A prime example of a system that efficiently transforms vocalizations and a= uditory sequences into higher-order structures is the human language system= . However, because this system in humans is often thought to be special, th= e aspects of it that have parallels with the neural systems of other animal= s remains an open question. In this presentation, I overview our work in h= uman and nonhuman primates involving two ongoing research strands. One stra= nd has focused on the processing of voice identity content in conspecific v= ocalizations, including how this is integrated with information from the vi= sual modality into, what we now see as, 'amodal' or sensory invariant neura= l representations. The second strand has focused on the processing of audit= ory sequences using statistical or operant learning tasks. The two strands = of work have generated hypotheses on the key neural transformations and neu= ronal codes that bind either concurrent information from the auditory and v= isual senses or sequentially distributed dependencies in time. I conclude t= he presentation by showing that there are now closer nonhuman animal parall= els to the human auditory and language system, which bodes well for underst= anding fundamental aspects of it with animal models and more directly infor= ming research with patients that have auditory disorders. Bio: Chris Petkov is Professor of Comparative Neuropsychology at Newcastle Unive= rsity, UK, and Vice Chair for Research at the University of Iowa, USA. The = laboratory specializes in advanced imaging and neurophysiological research = and the research with nonhuman primates informs and is directly responsive = to work with neurosurgery and neurology patients. The laboratory studies au= ditory, multisensory and cognitive functions, and seeks to better understan= d evolutionary change in order to highlight brain specializations and those= based on evolutionarily conserved principles. We are also interested in un= derstanding the impact on and possible compensation by the auditory system = resulting from neurological disorders or neurosurgical treatment affecting = hearing and auditory cognition. Chris is involved in international initiati= ves, including the primate neuroimaging (PRIME-DE) initiative, and the labo= ratory research has been supported by the Wellcome Trust, NC3Rs, BBSRC, Eur= opean Research Council and National Institutes of Health. We look forward to seeing you.
