SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Watch Me Work — Portraits of Self\"
DESCRIPTION:In *Watch Me Work — Portraits of Self*\, Detroit artist Sydney G. James brings to the forefront and celebrates the work of Black women. The USPS worker\, the artist\, the event-planning Zoom mom—the paintings in this exhibition reposition the narrative of black women’s visibility and value. Each portrait honors the individual and collective contributions and labors of Black women\, persistent through the pandemics\, through police violence\, and whether seen or unseen.\n\nWith the Gallery closed to the public due to COVID\, *Watch Me Work* will be completely visible from the street. Artwork will be hung in the Washington and Thayer-street first floor windows of the Institute for the Humanities\, with two additional pieces visible through the gallery window on Thayer in a public celebration of these meaningful human relationships and connections.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CAS Film Screening | Village of Women
DESCRIPTION:Please register in advance to receive the streaming link and to attend the Q/A session with the film director: http://myumi.ch/0W1oY.\n\nThe film will be available for you to watch on your own from November 27 to December 2nd.\n   \n   A village where women\, children\, and elderly reside. Men leave nine months of the year for Russia to work. Summer\, a slow and friendly atmosphere\; women do the hay\, cut the grass\, and store for the winter. Fruits are canned to be eaten during the cold winter. The sun arouses certain laziness\, a sensual relaxation. Autumn\, with its different shades of red\, is the season of birth and potato harvest. Women and men find intimacy in the coldness of winter\, hence\, women give birth in October and November. Fathers meet their children in December. Preparations start early to welcome men. Waiting is long and tiring.\n   \n   Winter is near\, a form of suspense sets in: whose husband will come first? The men arrive with the snow. The women are shy\, they need time to exist in the presence of men. The children are happy to be close to their fathers. Spring sets in\, the atmosphere becomes tense. Men depart for the land of tsars. She is weak and sad but needs to find the strength to take care of the children.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at armenianstudies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works
DESCRIPTION:View the online gallery at https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/humanitiesgalleries/sarah-rose-sharp/\n\nResults or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded \"High Stakes Art\" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that\, as she explains\, \"forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual.\"\n\nThanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020\, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security\, it's not open to the general public\, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition. \n\nAbout the Artist\nSarah Rose Sharp is a Detroit-based writer\, activist\, photographer\, and multimedia artist. She writes about art and culture for Art in America\, Hyperallergic\, Flash Art\, Sculpture Magazine\, ArtSlant\, and others. Sarah was named a 2015 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow for Art Criticism and is a 2018 recipient of the Rabkin Foundation Prize. She is a guest lecturer at several universities in Southeast Michigan and served as a mentor in the NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentorship Program in 2018. Sarah has served as guest curator and juror for institutions including Penn State University (State College\, PA)\, Scarab Club (Detroit\, MI)\, The Terhune Gallery (Toledo\, OH)\, and The Ann Arbor Art Center (Ann Arbor\, MI). Sarah has shown her own work in New York\, Seattle\, Columbus & Toledo\, OH\, Covington\, KY\, and Detroit—including at the Detroit Institute of Arts—with solo shows at Simone De Sousa Gallery and Public Pool. She is primarily concerned with artist and viewer experiences of making and engaging with art\, and conducts ongoing research into the state of contemporary art in redeveloping cities\, with special focus and regard for Detroit.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:John Lewis: Good Trouble (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15\, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.\n\nSynopsis:\nAn intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life\, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Loss Attitudes in the U.S. Population: Evidence from Dynamically Optimized Sequential Experimentation (DOSE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nTo measure individual-level loss aversion in a representative sample of the U.S. population (N = 2\,000)\, we introduce DOSE—Dynamically Optimized Sequential Experimentation. We find that around 50% of the U.S. population is loss tolerant. This is\ncounter to earlier findings\, which mostly come from lab/student samples\, that a strong majority of participants are loss averse. Loss attitudes are correlated with cognitive ability: loss aversion is more prevalent in people with high cognitive ability\, and loss tolerance is more common in those with low cognitive ability. We also use DOSE to document facts about risk and time preferences\, and demonstrate that DOSE elicitations are more accurate\, more stable across time\, and faster to administer than standard methods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS\, STARTLING WORKS OF ART\, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER \n \nCollection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more! This is a free event\, and all are welcome.\n\n

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CSCS Seminar | Developing a systematic approach to modulate the emergence of consciousness from pharmacologically-and pathologically induced unconsciousness
DESCRIPTION:ZOOM MEETING LINK:  myumi.ch/v2ZYv\n\nRe-scheduled from earlier this fall.\n\nABSTRACT:\nWhy is it so difficult to develop a systematic approach to modulate the recovery of consciousness from pharmacologically and pathologically induced unconsciousness? Three things are required to develop a systematic approach\; a reliable neural activity that corresponds to consciousness\, a reliable brain stimulation to induce the target neural activity\, and a mechanism to guarantee the induced neural activity results in consciousness. However\, no single neural activity or a mechanism has been identified yet as a neural correlate of consciousness\, suggesting that consciousness might emerge through complex interactions of spatially and temporally distributed brain functions. Accumulating evidence from computational model and empirical studies suggest that brain criticality – a balanced state between order and disorder\, stability and instability\, incoherent and synchronized connectivity at a global network level\, is a necessary condition for the emergence of consciousness. Thus\, in our research project\, we hypothesized that with modulating brain network criticality\, we may be able to control the state transition during the loss and recovery of consciousness in general anesthesia and coma. In this talk\, I will introduce our current project that aims to develop a systematic method to precisely evaluate a brain state in altered states of consciousness and to control the emergence from unconsciousness\, which is based on highly advanced methods in physics\, network science\, and neurobiology of consciousness.\n\nPlease join us 15 minutes before and after the seminar for a social coffee hangout.  Put your speakers and video on and say hi to old friends or go to the 'lounge' and chat with an acquaintance

SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium:  Ecological resources and the evolution of parent-offspring interactions
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nAnimal behavior is a key component of biological adaptations\, where fitness relies on the ability to find mates\, acquire food\, and avoid predation. Variation in the availability of key ecological resources can drive the diversification of animal behaviors\, although the neural mechanisms responsible have remained elusive. I will discuss how ecological resources have driven the evolution of parent-offspring interactions. Parental care is a key evolutionary innovation that facilitates the exploitation of novel habitats\, influences fitness and survival of parents and offspring\, and serves as an evolutionary precursor to the emergence of  complex social behaviors. To study the link between ecology and behavioral adaptations\, my lab uses poison frogs as a model system\, as they show remarkable variation in parental care strategies. I will discuss how a key ecological resource drove the evolution of egg-feeding behavior in poison frogs. Mothers provide trophic\, unfertilized eggs to their developing tadpoles. In turn\, tadpoles beg their mothers for meals by performing a conspicuous dance display\, which they are more likely to perform when they are hungry. In both cases\, a general theme emerges in the brain\, where the modification of neuronal circuits regulating feeding behavior also tune social interactions. Overall this body of work is providing insight into how ecological factors\, like nutrient availability and predation\, shape behavioral evolution through the modification of feeding-related circuitry in the brain.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Frankel Institute Event Series: Stranger Still: Translating Contemporary Poetry from Israel/Palestine
DESCRIPTION:This series showcases the diversity of poetic voices from Israel/Palestine through the lens of translation. Each event features a multilingual poetry reading and a conversation between poets and translators on the careful negotiations that are involved in the act of translation\, highlighting work that creates its own currents against and beyond the Israeli mainstream. \n\nVaan Nguyen has been described as “a veritable juggler of Hebrew.” Born in 1982 in Israel to refugees of the Vietnam War\, Nguyen’s poems travel far and wide\, taking in views of Hanoi\, Manhattan\, Paris\, Milan\, Salzburg\, Pasadena and more. Through these movements\, Nguyen reflects on how our lives take shape in the daily migrations we make between lovers\, family\, work\, and the places we call home. She is the author of the poetry collections *The Truffle Eye* (Ma’ayan Press\, 2013) and Vain Ratio (Barchash\, 2018). In addition to poetry\, she has worked as an actress\, journalist\, and social activist. She currently lives in Jaffa and is writing her first novel.\n\nAdriana X. Jacobs is this year’s Co-head Fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies and Associate Professor of Modern Hebrew Literature at the University of Oxford. She is the author of *Strange Cocktail: Translation and the Making of Modern Hebrew Poetry* (University of Michigan Press\, 2018). Her translations have appeared in various print and online journals\, including *Gulf Coast*\, *Seedings*\, *World Literature Today*\, *Poetry International*\, and *The Ilanot Review*. Her translation into English of Vaan Nguyen’s *The Truffle Eye* will be published by Zephyr Press in early 2021.\n\nAdvance Registration Required: https://forms.gle/Z6WRekCB974Hz8EbA\nThe Zoom Webinar link will be sent out before the event.\n\n(photo credit: Shaxaf Haber)

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:A Little Math History Two
DESCRIPTION:In this course we continue to investigate the 5\,000 year history of mathematics\, learning about the lives of some great mathematicians and their discoveries. We will study the contexts of these discoveries and recognize how they developed from the cultural\, economic\, and religious needs of their time. For example\, mathematical thought often flourished at times when societies had enough wealth to support intellectual discoveries\, or in times of war or great upheaval. \nThis course\, requires no advanced knowledge of mathematics and is not dependent on the first course in this series. Instructor Joan Cohen Jones is a retired mathematics professor who has taught a number of OLLI courses.\n\nThis study group will be held on Tuesdays from December 1 through 8. \n Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone.  A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Gaslighting in the Academy: Will Black Lives Continue to Matter?
DESCRIPTION:In light of the increased visibility of the killing of unarmed Black people by police\, there is a movement happening in America to address racial inequities across multiple facets of life\, and neither the Academy nor STEM researchers are immune.  \n \nOverlaying the disproportionate effect of COVID-19 on Black and Brown people has led to a tipping point driving activism nationwide. However\, there is a risk that once the outrage passes\, structures supporting systemic racism will remain\, once again\, gaslighting academics and students of color who thought that change was coming. \n \nProfessor Platt will uncover micro- to mega- activities that occur on a daily basis to sustain racial inequities\, the toll it takes on recipients\, and then suggest changes to be made from the personal to institutional level to promote anti-racist practices to transform the academic culture.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women's Vote
DESCRIPTION:Organized by AIGA in partnership with League of Women Voters\n\n2020 marks the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment\, granting women the right to vote in 1920. It was the first legislation for women’s voting rights. Not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 were voting rights of ALL women protected and enforced\, and intimidation tactics progressively eliminated.  The Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote poster campaign\, organized by AIGA in partnership with the League of Women Voters\, commemorates this milestone. A core group of invited women of design submitted the first 65 non-partisan posters\, to launch the initiative with their vision and voices. Through the posters\, these women joined forces to collectively contribute to dialogue in design and society. This moment in history is an incredible opportunity to catalyze women in design\, voting rights\, citizenship\, community\, and diversity. The collection aspires to not only support present day voter participation\, but to also serve as a backdrop for discourse and examination of the history of voting rights and women’s fight for equality.  The poster initiative continues at aiga.org/vote\, where AIGA members can contribute posters to motivate the American public to register and turn out to vote in the 2020 general election\, as well as local elections to come. Posters are available for free download online.\n\nThe Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote exhibition at Stamps Gallery includes a selection of the 65 posters chosen by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V. Johnson\, Francis Nunoo-Quarcoo\, Endi Poskovic\, Destini Riley\, and Stamps Gallery. The exhibition includes posters by Audrey Bennett\, Johanna Björk\, Karen Cheng\, Emily Comfort\, Jenny El-Shamy\, Dinah Fried\, Karin Fong\, Anne M. Giangiulio\, Annabelle Gould\, Brockett Horne\, Meena Khalili\, nicole killian + shawné michaelain holloway\, Karen Kurycki\, Marty Maxwell Lane\, Zuzana Licko\, Ana Llorente\, Beatriz Lozano\, Kelly Salchow MacArthur\, Rebeca Mendez\, Lana Rigsby\, Kaleena Sales\, Renee Seward\, Laurel Shoemaker\, Nancy Sklolos\,  Hannah Smotrich\, Shanti Sparrow\, Jennifer Sterling\, Fearn de Vicq\, Cymone Wilder\, and Lynne Yun.\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations by Heidi Kumao
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery is pleased to present Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations\, a solo exhibition of narrative fabric works and experimental animations by Stamps Professor Heidi Kumao.\n\nUsing fabric cutouts and machine and hand stitching on industrial felt\, Kumao gives physical form to the intangible dynamics underlying ordinary conversations and relationships from a feminist perspective. Intentionally minimal\, each image distills an interaction\, traumatic incident\, or power imbalance into an accessible visual narrative. Recognizable objects such as chairs\, roots\, ladders\, or spotlights set the stage for the story to unfold. Events are captured midstream\, suspended in time like a felt film still.\n\nThe exhibition is inspired\, in part\, by the courage\, testimony\, and experiences of women (like Christine Blasey Ford) who publicly report assault\, harassment\, or misconduct. The #MeToo movement gave voice to thousands of women to tell their personal stories\, but also exposed a hostile backlash meant to silence them. The title\, “Real and Imagined\,” is a deliberate contradiction\; if one is true\, the other must not be. In practice\, however\, both terms are used to reference a woman’s testimony and determine how it is publicly interpreted. Her account is accepted as truthful by many and simultaneously dismissed as imaginary by the court of public opinion: “her memory is wrong\,” “she imagined it.”\n\nThe works in “Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations” make difficult conversations and relationships tangible by stripping them down to their essentials.\n\nWordless physical gestures highlight the psychological and emotional forces at play behind even the smallest of interactions.\n\nBiography\nHeidi Kumao has created award-winning experimental films\, video installations\, cinema machines\, electronic clothing\, and kinetic sculptures. She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including shows at Art Science Museum Singapore\, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona\, Fundació Joan Miró (Barcelona)\, and Museu da Imagem e do Som (São Paulo). She has received fellowships from the Creative Capital Foundation\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She is a professor at the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery.

SUMMARY:Auditions:Respond / Resist / Rethink: A Stamps Poster & Video Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition\n\nStamps Gallery is proud to kick-off the fall semester with Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Student Poster & Video Exhibition\, which brings together powerful posters and playful videos made by the students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races\, genders\, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality\, structural racism\, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the stakeholders in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality\, belonging\, respect? We found inspiration in the thoughtful words of renowned civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis (1940-2020) who wrote\, “My fellow Americans\, this is a special moment in our history. Just as people of all faiths and no faiths\, and all backgrounds\, creeds\, and colors banded together decades ago to fight for equality and justice in a peaceful\, orderly\, non-violent fashion\, we must do so again.” His powerful words are a reminder for all of us - present and future generations to stay hopeful\, proactive\, and resilient in our collective efforts to end racial discrimination and foster a true democracy. \n\nIn this spirit\, Stamps Gallery invited the undergraduate and graduate students at Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, to design posters and make videos to respond and contemplate what each of us can do to build a stronger community\, one that is based on the values of racial equality\, justice and belonging. How can we acknowledge our own biases\, learn from each other\, and listen to the voices of those that have been silenced? We are at a pivotal moment in our history as the pandemic radically transforms everyday life. Through this exhibition Stamps Gallery asks the UM community to come together as artists and audiences and envision models for inclusion that are grounded in equality\, belonging and empathy.\n\nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition includes work by Emily Albright\, Adriana Alcala\, Nathan Byrne\, David Forsee\, Eloise Jansenn\, Rey Jeong\, Sohyun Lim\, Anika Love\, Maggie McConnell\, Willian Minzer\, Judah Premble\, Casey Rheault\, Natalia Rocafuerte\, Jenna Scheen\, Ellie Schmidt\, Abigail Seguin\, LaKyla Thomas\, Elijah Thompson\, Benjamin Winans\, and Molly Wu.\n\nArtwork was selected through an open call by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:PHD SEMINAR: \"Personalized Data-Driven Learning and Optimization: Theory and Applications to Healthcare\" — Esmaeil Keyvanshokooh
DESCRIPTION:This event is designed for U-M IOE PhD students and faculty and is also open to all U-M students\, faculty and staff.\n\nTitle:\nPersonalized Data-Driven Learning and Optimization: Theory and Applications to Healthcare\n\nAbstract:\nThe rapid growth of information and accessibility to big data provide a unique opportunity to shift toward personalized data-driven decision-making analytics. Healthcare presents many decision support opportunities for personalized/precision treatment choices based on patient biomarkers and clinical history. In marketing\, these same methods can increase the click-through rate through ads and promotions tailored to the user’s demographics and interests. These real-time personalized decision-making paradigms (i) adaptively learn a model that predicts a user-specific outcome for each available decision as a function of the user's known contextual information (prediction)\, and (ii) harness this model to make optimize personalized decisions for subsequent users (prescription). In this talk\, I introduce critical challenges in the development of today’s real-time personalized decision making paradigms: the need for making \"nested\" personalized decisions jointly and accounting for limited resource capacities. I then present new personalized data driven predictive and prescriptive analytical methods with provable performance guarantee to deal with these challenges. In addition to provable performance guarantees\, the effectiveness of these new methods is illustrated through case studies using real-word medical/healthcare data.\n\nBio:\nEsmaeil Keyvanshokooh is broadly interested in developing personalized data driven analytical methods for a wide range of business analytics applications. To address unmet real-world needs in healthcare and operations engineering\, he generates novel state-of-the-art analytics techniques to yield insights and new functionality. For the 2020 INFORMS Decision Analysis Society Best Paper Award\, he was a finalist (2nd place).  He won both the 2020 Katta G. Murty Best Paper Award on Optimization\, and 2019 Richard Wilson Best Paper Award on Service Operations. He has received several other awards\, including the 2017 IOE Bonder Fellowship in Applied Operations Research and the prestigious 2020 University of Michigan Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship. Esmaeil is a Ph.D. candidate in Operations Research at the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at University of Michigan\, working under the supervision of Prof. Mark Van Oyen and Prof. Cong Shi. He received his M.Sc. degrees in Statistics from University of Michigan\, and in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from Iowa State University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Functional MRI 2020-21 Symposium Speaker
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The neural basis of consciousness is one of the most challenging and fundamental questions in science. Evidence from noninvasive functional neuroimaging studies has pointed to two distinct cortical systems that may mediate the ongoing stream of human consciousness\, an internally directed system – default mode network (DMN) and an externally directed system – dorsal attention network (DAT). During Dr. Huang’s talk\, he will present one of his recently published studies (Huang et al.\, 2020\, Science Advances) entitled “Temporal Circuit of Macroscale Dynamic Brain Activity Supports Human Consciousness”. In this work\, he and his colleagues examined how the two systems are regulated in the conscious brain\, and how they are disrupted when consciousness is diminished. They developed a concept\, the “temporal circuit”\, characterized by a set of trajectories along which the dynamic brain activity occurs. The transitions between the DMN and DAT are embedded in the temporal circuit\, where a balanced reciprocal accessibility of brain states is characteristic of consciousness. In contrast\, an isolation of the DMN and DAT from the temporal circuit underlies unconsciousness of diverse etiologies. These findings provide new mechanistic understanding on the functional role of anti-correlated systems and consciousness. Next\, Dr. Huang will discuss some ongoing and extended work on determining which brain region plays a key role in controlling the DMN-DAT transitions and in gating conscious access (i.e.\, the availability of consciously perceived information to cognitive processors).\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIpce6gpzkrHtaY3Xhz3Jk7xeL-VMyPjdnA
