DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the visi
 on of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972
 –1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks 
 will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, co
 gnitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientis
 ts from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally
  and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual fo
 rum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary ex
 changes on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive
  disorders.\n\n\nZOOM: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/88356074834  \n\n\nThe Neu
 ral Networks and Oscillations Producing Dynamic Visual Awareness in Binocu
 lar Rivalry\n\nAbstract: Janine D. Mendola will discuss human fMRI and MEG
  studies of binocular rivalry\, including recent work on individual differ
 ences. Alternations between bistable percepts provide a powerful platform 
 for studying visual awareness and suppression. The frequency tagging techn
 ique is used to record whole-brain SSVEPs\, with analyses of power\, coher
 ence\, and connectivity. In untagged data\, the role of alpha band signals
  in perceptual stabilization is explored. One theme is the comparison of w
 ell-matched binocular states\, such as different types of rivalry. Another
  theme is the non-invasive measurement of interocular inhibition\, which m
 ay be a partially heritable trait. Additionally\, potential relationships 
 to binocular vision disorders\, such as amblyopia\, may be considered.\n\n
 Janine D. Mendola\n\nProfessor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences\, McGi
 ll University\n\n\n\nJanine Mendola is currently an Associate Professor in
  the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences. She is also affiliat
 ed with the BRaIN program of the MUHC. Her research focuses on the functio
 nal organization of the human visual system\, and the neural basis of perc
 eption in health and disease. She primarily uses fMRI and MEG neuroimaging
  techniques to study normal binocular vision and form perception\, as well
  as the alterations that occur in both inherited and acquired ophthalmolog
 ical conditions. Dr. Mendola’s research has been funded by the Natural Sci
 ences and Engineering Research Council of Canada\, the U.S. National Eye I
 nstitute and Department of Defense\, as well as commercial and non-profit 
 sponsors.\n
