The final day of CNS 2020 Virtual brought us a diverse set of symposia, in addition to the final poster sessions and an award lecture by Nancy Kanwisher. Her 26th Annual George A. Miller Prize in Cognitive Neuroscience Lecture was entitled Functional Imaging of the Human Brain: A Window into the Architecture of the Mind. Attendees also learned about novel non-invasive approaches for brain stimulation and contemporary approaches to understanding emotion representations. Check out some highlights from those talks and more, via Twitter:

LaBar’s team has been able to apply machine learning tools to derive neuroimaging markers of a small set of emotions like fear, anger, and surprise #CNS2020

They developed a neural network to decode images into distinct emotion categories and validated the model using over 25,000 images and movies #CNS2020

Keltner was a consultant on the Pixar film “Inside Out” and the first question the director had was: What are the emotions? #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/rPYG0jUGSI

But even the basic 6 are incomplete and Keltner and Cowen hope to open our minds to the idea that emotions are high dimensional beyond the traditional ideas #CNS2020

She’s been working to understand what she calls the “language of the face” — how individual face movements combine in different ways to create meaningful facial expressions, like how letters combine to create words #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/pRh4LOEl2D

We’ve come far in understanding the architecture of the mind… This is an initial sketch of who we are but also the barest of beginnings, a roadmap for research – Nancy Kanwisher #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/4uapLQv8x0

Kanwisher tours us through work on face selectivity in the fusiform and the developmental origins of cortical specificity #CNS2020

These are but 3 questions but there are a whole host of others… Nancy Kanswisher concludes her George A. Miller Award talk #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/SzkAYvHl5F

Had a fantastic and engaging time watching Nancy Kanwisher’s award talk for #CNS2020 in VR! Here’s a photo in our VR theater with @MarcCoutanche @Mr_Steely_Dan and others! It felt way more like a real conference than watching things on my 2D screen. pic.twitter.com/Arn6OJ0vuO

Really enjoyed @AlexaTompary ‘s talk discussing how prior knowledge can strengthen and disrupt memory recall. I will definitely be re-watching this later to catch all of the findings you presented 🦁🐦#CNS2020 https://t.co/eYVRLW0S2l

Want to know how alpha lateralization relates to sound localization in complex auditory scenes? Hope to “see” you all in my poster booth! Here’s the link to the video presentation if you aren’t attending #CNS2020: https://t.co/w802Hqqz7o https://t.co/mZ2iNQXMFE
