 \n \n\n \nSPECIAL CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT:\nThursday\, February 19 @ 11 am
 \nHosted by the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre\, in coordination with UQAM
  Coeur des Sciences.\n	Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre\, MNI\n\n	Stanislas Dehae
 ne received his training in mathematics at the École Normale Supérieure in
  Paris\, then completed a PhD in cognitive psychology with Jacques Mehler\
 , post-doctoral studies with Michael Posner\, as well as neuronal modellin
 g studies with Jean-Pierre Changeux. He has been working since 1997 Neuroi
 maging Units of the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique (Orsay and Neurospin
 )\, where he now directs the Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit since 2001. In Se
 ptember 2005 he was elected as a full professor on the newly created chair
  of Experimental Cognitive Psychology at the Collège de France in Paris. H
 e is also a Member of the French Academy of Sciences.\n	\n	Stanislas Dehaene
 's interests concern the cerebral bases of specifically human cognitive fu
 nctions such as language\, calculation\, and reasoning. The team uses a va
 riety of experimental methods\, including mental chronometry in normal sub
 jects\, cognitive analyses of brain-lesioned patients\, and brain-imaging 
 studies with positron emission tomography\, functional magnetic resonance 
 imaging\, and high-density recordings of event-related potentials. Formal 
 models of minimal neuronal networks are also devised and simulated in an a
 ttempt to throw some links between molecular\, physiological\, imaging\, a
 nd behavioral data.\n	\n	Stanislas Dehaene's main scientific contributions i
 nclude the study of the organization of the cerebral system for number pro
 cessing. Using converging evidence from PET\, EEG/MEG\, fMRI\, and brain l
 esions\, Stanislas Dehaene demonstrated the central role played by a regio
 n of the intraparietal sulcus in understanding quantities and arithmetic (
 the number sense). He was also the first to demonstrate that subliminal pr
 esentations of words can yield detectable cortical activations in fMRI\, a
 nd has used these data to support an original theory of conscious and nonc
 onscious processing in the human brain. With neurologist Laurent Cohen\, h
 e also studied the neural networks of reading and demonstrated the crucial
  role of the left occipito-temporal region in word recognition (the visual
  word form area).\n	\n	Stanislas Dehaene is the author of over 100 scientifi
 c publications in major international journals. He has received several in
 ternational prizes including the McDonnell Centennial Fellowship and the L
 ouis D. prize of the French Academy of Sciences (with D. Lebihan). He has 
 published an acclaimed book (The Number Sense)\, which has been translated
  in eight languages. He has also edited three books on brain imaging\, con
 sciousness\, and brain evolution\, and has authored two general-audience f
 ilms on the human brain. He is the associate editor of Cognition\, an inte
 rnational journal of Cognitive Science.\n	 \n
