CSAS Lecture Series | Decasticization,"Dirty Work" and Dignity: A Case Study of Arunthathiyars in Tamil Nadu (September 7, 2018 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53281 53281-13332421@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 7, 2018 5:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

Using the Chennai floods as a case study, I will explore how intersections of caste, class, "dirty work," and the politics of cleaning continue to ignore the sufferings of Arunthathiyar (A Dalit caste group in Tamil Nadu) as they cleaned the city after the Chennai floods in 2015. This presentation particularly focuses on the invisibility and erasure of the sufferings of Arunthathiyars from public memory.

Using qualitative interviews and social media analyses, my project explores the complex consequences of corporate irresponsibility in the mistreatment of Aruthathiyar janitors and active documentation of Arunthathiyars' sufferings by progressive and Dalit activists acting as their mnemonic communities. I will argue for the need to incorporate a social marginality perspective for disaster management to prevent dignity injuries and occupational hazards of the most marginalized groups, such as Arunthathiyars.

Ram Mahalingam is a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. He is currently the Director for the Barger Leadership Institute (https://lsa.umich.edu/bli/People1/people/RamaswamiMahalingam.html), and is a cultural psychologist originally from Tamil Nadu, India.

Intersectionality, gender, and social marginality are the major themes of his research. He has edited two books and published numerous journal articles in interdisciplinary journals. His previous research explored the relationship between essentialism and power at the intersections of caste, social class, gender, race, and ethnicity.

He is currently working on three projects:

(a) dignity in the workplace, with a specific focus on janitors in India, the US, and South Korea;
(b) mindfulness, dignity, and social justice;
(c) cell phones and the making of the self.

October class registration now open! https://events.umich.edu/event/55611
During this 4-session class you will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness and learn several skills, including meditation, for managing stress and enriching your life. Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental, accepting, even curious, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.

Koru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill. Like learning any new skill, it takes practice to get comfortable with mindfulness. We invite you to devote yourself to the study and practice of mindfulness over the next four weeks, and we challenge you to stay curious about what evolves for you as you persistently and patiently practice living mindfully. We also have a free mobile app to track meditation practices for this course!

For any questions, please contact Hitomi Katsumi at hkat@umich.edu.

Psychology Methods Hour - A Frequentist’s Journey into the Land of Bayes—the problem(s) that pushed me over the edge. (September 14, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53044 53044-13211460@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 14, 2018 12:00pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Psychology Methods Hour

Dr. Flannagan will talk about a study that she led in 2013-2015 during the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) (EU-US trade) negotiations. The study evaluated whether EU-regulated cars and US-regulated cars could be deemed "equally safe." She will focus on the methods and some of the political context for this study that made the choice of methods critical. In the study, she and her colleagues used both Bayesian and non-Bayesian methods, but she'll focus on the Bayesian approach that they took. Although the particular study is closer to Epidemiology than Psychology per se, it has obvious parallels to any situation in which the question of "are these the same" is of great importance. In addition, the sponsor had a particular point of view that had implications for the methods the team used and the conclusions they could draw.

Culturally Grounded Interventions that Enhance Belonging, Motivation and Academic Performance (September 19, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54372 54372-13574541@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 19, 2018 12:00pm

The culture cycle, which consists of cultural ideas and institutional practices that influence individuals’ interactions and daily lived experiences, reveals that individuals are both a product of and play an important role in creating and adapting to the cultures they inhabit.The dominant educational culture, which is largely influenced by the independent model of self, reflects a set of ideas and practices about what it means to be a “good” student, the purpose of education, and the nature of the relationship between teachers and students. For many students, such as first-generation college students and other racial-ethnic minority students, this model typically does not match their understandings of self, which are more likely to be influenced by the interdependent model of self. The first set of studies examine the sources and consequences of student success associated with a cultural match or mismatch between the students’ model of self and the dominant educational culture. The second set of studies examine how culturally grounded interventions, by way of reframing the dominant educational culture, positively influences motivation and performance. Together our research highlights the need to address the role that existing dominant cultural norms and practices play in contributing to educational disparities for diverse students, and the need to reframe these practices in ways that acknowledge and honor the cultural strengths of these students.

October class registration now open! https://events.umich.edu/event/55611
During this 4-session class you will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness and learn several skills, including meditation, for managing stress and enriching your life. Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental, accepting, even curious, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.

Koru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill. Like learning any new skill, it takes practice to get comfortable with mindfulness. We invite you to devote yourself to the study and practice of mindfulness over the next four weeks, and we challenge you to stay curious about what evolves for you as you persistently and patiently practice living mindfully. We also have a free mobile app to track meditation practices for this course!

For any questions, please contact Hitomi Katsumi at hkat@umich.edu.

Do the roots of psychopathy lie in early childhood?

Abstract:
The cold and calculating psychopath captures our imagination through many movies and books. But what do we know about psychopathy and the development of psychopathy? In this talk, I will briefly describe what we know about psychopathy in adults. I will then describe a line of research examining an early risk factor for psychopathy called callous-unemotional traits that is studied in children and teens. I will describe recent work identifying how these traits develop via “nature” and “nurture” and present work starting as early as preschool which identifies potentially malleable and preventable risk factors for this dangerous outcome.

Biosketch:
Luke W. Hyde, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Clinical and Developmental areas of the Department of Psychology. He received BA from Williams College and PhD in Clinical and Developmental Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh with a concentration in cognitive neuroscience. He research focuses on the development of antisocial behavior (e.g., aggression, rule breaking) in youth and the impacts of adversity on youth and families. Much of this research has focused on how experiences like parenting and living in a dangerous neighborhood impact children’s brain and behavior leading to psychopathology. Dr. Hyde’s research has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the Brain and Behavior Foundation, and the Avielle Foundation. This research has been recognized by early career awards from the Society for Research in Psychopathology, the Association for Psychological Science, and Division 7 (Developmental Psychology) of the American Psychological Association.

Trauma Exposure and Neurobiology of Fear: Risk and Resilience

Trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are highly prevalent in low-income urban populations. Our studies at the Grady Trauma Project in Atlanta, GA indicate that almost 90% of the inner-city population experience trauma, however not everyone will develop PTSD. This suggests risk and resilience factors for PTSD. We have found that brain-based biomarker can serve as intermediate phenotypes between genotype and psychopathology—this presentation will give an overview of the fear conditioning and functional MRI studies that describe such phenotypes. In addition, translational studies in rodents and developmental studies in humans will be presented to underscore the broad utility of intermediate phenotypes in clinical neuroscience research.

Gender/sex configurations via sexual configurations theory: A novel survey method for assessing diverse gender/sexes

The assessment of gender and/or sex is often confined to a binary choice between male and female or placement on single dimensions. These measures do not often facilitate investigations of the way gender and sex can branch or coincide, change over time and context, vary in importance to one’s self, be situated in relation to cultural norms, or exist outside binary understandings of gender/sex. To address this gap, we developed a novel method for assessing individual gender, sex, and gender/sex (i.e., “gender/sex configurations”) using diagrams adapted from sexual configurations theory (SCT; van Anders, 2015). SCT provides a way of understanding and describing gender/sex configurations that centers gender/sex diversity. However, SCT has yet to be adapted for use in survey research. In this presentation, I will describe a study in which we asked participants (N = 242) with diverse gender/sex identities to describe their gender/sex configurations with both textual descriptions and through marking and writing on the diagrams from SCT via an online platform. Participants also answered follow-up questions about their understanding of the concepts and their experience describing their gender/sex configurations. Results indicated that a) the diagrams were used in ways consistent with self-identified gender/sex and b) a level of nuance was captured that otherwise would have remained invisible. Furthermore, participants reported generally understanding the concepts, and though some found the diagrams unnecessarily complicated, many saw the utility of the survey, either for describing their own gender/sex, as a way to consider others’ identities, or as a tool for understanding gender/sex diversity in general. Taken together, these findings indicate that drawing on SCT diagrams proves a promising way to allow people of all identities to describe themselves in ways that have not yet been explored in psychological research, with numerous potential uses in scientific research, clinical settings, and for individual self-understanding.

Voodoo Correlations Revisited: Biased Analysis in Neuroimaging and Behavioral Data

Nearly a decade ago, Vul and colleagues (2009) published a paper criticizing then-current methods of region of interest (ROI) analysis. Their criticism focused on what is called biased or circular analysis, in which data is extracted from voxels that are already defined as statistically significant, leading to inflated effect sizes. In this talk I will outline the history of the debate, explain why it is still relevant in both neuroimaging and behavioral studies, and discuss ways you can prevent inadvertently doing biased analyses.

The Dark Side of Light at Night: Biological Effects of Disrupted Circadian Rhythms


Life on Earth has evolved during the past several billion years under relatively bright days and relatively dark night conditions. Biological functions are exquisitely timed for optimal functioning; some processes occur at night and others during the day. The widespread adoption of electric lights during the past century exposed animals, including humans, to significant light at night for the first time in their evolutionary history. Endogenous circadian clocks depend on light to synchronize with the external day-night cycles. Thus, light at night can derange temporal adaptations. Indeed, disruption of naturally evolved responses to light-dark cycles results in several physiological and behavioral changes with potentially serious implications for fitness. The reasons for turning off your devices at night will be discussed.

FREE 4-Session Mindfulness Class (October 4, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/55611 55611-13761445@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 4, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Koru Mindfulness @ U-M

*Registration Closed. Contact hkat@umich.edu for future 4-week sessions.*

Thursdays from 4:00 - 5:30pm (10/4, 10/11, 10/18, 10/25)
@ Angel Hall G243 (Ground Floor)
During this 4-session class you will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness and learn several skills, including meditation, for managing stress and enriching your life. Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental, accepting, even curious, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.

Koru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill. Like learning any new skill, it takes practice to get comfortable with mindfulness. We invite you to devote yourself to the study and practice of mindfulness over the next four weeks, and we challenge you to stay curious about what evolves for you as you persistently and patiently practice living mindfully. We also have a free mobile app to track meditation practices for this course!

For any questions, please contact Hitomi Katsumi at hkat@umich.edu.

Explanation: The Good, The Bad, and The Beautiful (October 5, 2018 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54883 54883-13651912@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 5, 2018 2:00pm

Like scientists, children and adults are often motivated to explain the world around them, including why people behave in particular ways, why objects have some properties rather than others, and why events unfold as they do. Moreover, people have strong and systematic intuitions about what makes something a good (or beautiful) explanation. Why are we so driven to explain? And what accounts for our explanatory preferences? In this talk I’ll present evidence that both children and adults prefer explanations that are simple and have broad scope, consistent with many accounts of explanation from philosophy of science. The good news is that a preference for simple and broad explanations can sometimes improve learning and support effective inferences. The bad news is that under some conditions, these preferences can systematically lead children and adults astray.

Title: We live in different taste worlds: Supertasters and common pathologies

I grew up in a small prairie town in South Dakota in an era when women in science were a curiosity. Maybe this had something to do with my early interest in differences in how we perceive the world. In taste, there are genetic differences as well as common pathologies that affect the intensities of taste sensations. Individuals we called “supertasters” experience taste sensations that are more than twice as intense as the taste experiences of others. Supertasting affects dietary choices that affect health. Common pathologies (middle ear infections, tonsillectomies) can damage taste. Taste damage can produce some unexpected effects since there are inhibitory connections among the central projections of both taste nerves and nerves mediating other oral sensations (touch, pain, retronasal olfaction). Thus damage to taste can actually intensify some oral sensations when inhibitory connections are abolished. Damage to taste can also produce phantoms: sensations in the absence of obvious stimulation. Most recently my lab is collaborating with horticultural scientists to identify volatiles that can affect taste messages centrally. These volatiles have practical benefits (e.g., enhancing sweet and salty tastes) as well as clinical benefits. We can use some volatiles to bypass peripheral taste damage and restore some normal taste sensations to patients.

Sculpting the Epigenome Across Generations


The transmission of characteristics to individuals that promote development, reproduction and survival is a critical feature of evolution and has traditionally focused on genetic variation as a substrate for inheritance. However, advances in our understanding of epigenetics has guided new perspectives on the biological factors that contribute to the inheritance of a broad range of characteristics – particularly those shaped by the environment. In this talk, I will describe research examining the impact of a broad range of parental experiences, including exposure to stress, toxins and altered nutrition, on offspring development and behavior and illustrate the complex and dynamic routes through which the transmission of characteristics across generations can be achieved.

"Race to Nowhere" is a film that calls us to challenge current thinking about how we prepare our children for success. Featuring the heartbreaking stories of students across the country who have been pushed to the brink by over-scheduling, over-testing and the relentless pressure to achieve, “Race to Nowhere” points to a silent epidemic in our schools. Through the testimony of educators, parents and education experts, it reveals an education system in which cheating has become commonplace; students have become disengaged; stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant; and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired. "

Following the film, a panel will speak and lead discussion and Q&A, including:
John Boshoven, Counselor Emeritas and Co-Chair of AAPS Counseling Department

Patricia Manley, Trustee, Board of Education, Ann Arbor Public Schools

Todd Sevig, Director, Counseling and Psychological Services, University of Michigan

Individuals are susceptible to misinformation, such as the incorrect notion that vaccines cause autism. Despite strong evidence to the contrary, many individuals still believe that childhood vaccinations cause autism (DeStefano et al., 2013; Horne et al., 2015; Jain et al., 2015). Here, we examine the conditions under which this misconception may be eliminated. The current study is a replication of Horne et al. (2015), who found that communicating the risk of diseases targeted by vaccines was more effective than directly correcting misinformation. The findings from this study will provide the general public as well as public health officials with a scientific basis for how to successfully alter attitudes towards vaccines.

Years ago, Herbert Simon suggested that the standard assumption of rational choice theory, that decision makers choose so as to maximize expected utility, is psychologically implausible, because maximization requires cognitive operations that exceed human capacity. Simon proposed, instead, that people “satisfice,” choosing “good enough” rather than the best options. The maximizing challenge is exacerbated when choice sets are large, as is the case with most of the decisions people face in modern, affluent societies. More recent work has identified individual differences in decision making, with some people aiming to maximize and others aiming to satisfice. Maximizers make better decisions than satisficers, but feel worse about them. In this talk, I will suggest that the goal of maximizing is not just a psychological mistake, but an epistemological one—that often it is not possible. I will also present new empirical work that shows that when choice sets are large, people view choices as self-expressive, making even seemingly trivial decisions (e.g., what jeans to buy) into significant ones, and that when this happens, it enhances the tendency to maximize in making these decisions. In other words, large choice sets raise the stakes of decisions, turning people into maximizers, which results in less satisfying decisions. I will finally suggest that perhaps viewing the self as “achieved” rather than as “ascribed,” or the self as “incremental” rather than as an “entity” may be a mixed psychological blessing. If there is a secret to happiness, it may be, as Aristotle said, in finding the mean between too much freedom and too little—between standards that are too high and standards that are too low. Chris Peterson taught us many invaluable lessons about happiness in his distinguished career, and I do not think he would be surprised by this one.

What if our perspective is what holds us back? What if tremendous success and progress are right in front of us, but our deep desire for control blocks the way? What if we could vastly improve performance through simple self-awareness?

Jonathan spent his career investigating control and the emotions that prevent us from seeing its fallacy. In "Giving Up Control," Jonathan offers a new light emphasizing how much we want control and providing an understanding of the world as never before. Empowering and surprisingly simple, Jonathan shows the power of self-awareness to literally transform our performance. Everything will be different and everything will finally make sense.

Abstract:
All organisms must respond to environmental and social perturbations. Subsequent facultative hormonal cascades are key for rapid physiological and behavioral acclimation. Although many endocrine cascades are known to respond rapidly to environmental perturbations, it is only recently that we have discovered the plasticity of these responses over the life cycle. Mechanisms underlying modulation of physiological and behavioral responses to environmental change have triggered two major hypotheses. 1. the evolutionary constraints hypothesis which posits that endocrine systems are highly conserved and there are limited ways by which the responses can be modulated. 2. The evolutionary flexibility hypothesis suggesting that there are multiple ways by which endocrine systems can be modulated. This talk will focus on specific facultative hormonal responses and explore why and how these are modulated in relation to the two hypotheses.

*Registration Closed. Contact hkat@umich.edu for future 4-week sessions.*

Thursdays from 4:00 - 5:30pm (10/4, 10/11, 10/18, 10/25)
@ Angel Hall G243 (Ground Floor)
During this 4-session class you will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness and learn several skills, including meditation, for managing stress and enriching your life. Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental, accepting, even curious, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.

Koru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill. Like learning any new skill, it takes practice to get comfortable with mindfulness. We invite you to devote yourself to the study and practice of mindfulness over the next four weeks, and we challenge you to stay curious about what evolves for you as you persistently and patiently practice living mindfully. We also have a free mobile app to track meditation practices for this course!

For any questions, please contact Hitomi Katsumi at hkat@umich.edu.

Diffusion models have shown great success in explaining choice response time in a wide variety of domains. However, to account for RT differences between correct and error responses, the model must assume random variability in parameters across trials. The first part of this talk presents mathematical results showing that, if this variability is unconstrained, then the model becomes unfalsifiable.

The second part presents a positive theory of intertrial variability that resolves this problem of excess flexibility, based on an integration of the diffusion model with reinforcement learning. These are arguably the two most successful frameworks in cognitive modeling, respectively describing within-trial and across-trial dynamics. I provide a Bayesian derivation that yields a natural synthesis of the two models and makes novel predictions about bidirectional influences between learning and decision making. Fits to data show the model simultaneously accounts for choice and RT within trials, learning across trials, and various interdependencies between these two timescales.

The Psychology of Germs, Disease, and Disgust.

Infectious diseases and the pathogens that cause them have been a serious problem throughout human history, with millions sickened and killed each year. In the modern world, hygiene and vaccinations help us manage this threat, but we all also possesses mental and physical defenses against germs. In this talk, I will discuss the emerging thinking on a set of defensive strategies grounded in our psychology – emotions, thought processes, and actions collectively called the “behavioral immune system.” Feeling grossed out or avoidant when seeing spoiled food or sick people can help prevent infection, but these reactions also negatively affect our interactions with people, groups, and environments that in reality pose no danger. Disease-related thinking also spills over into how we see the world more generally, influencing aspects of our lives from cultural taboos to the products we buy. The psychology of germs, disease, and disgust may help us understand why.

Title: Promoting Respect as a Solution to Workplace Sexual Harassment

Abstract: Despite, organizational policies aimed at sexual harassment prevention, harassing behaviors remain pervasive at work. Scholars have noted that anti-harassment policies may not be effective because they often focus heavily on unwanted sexual pursuit and sexual coercion and do little to tackle the broader climate of hostility and disrespect that sets the stage for sexual harassment. Thus, the present study examines whether anti-harassment efforts are more effective at reducing both sexual and hostile forms of harassment, for men and women, if expanded to emphasize positive, prosocial norms of respect. In a large military sample, we tested whether leader respect promotion uniquely predicted sexual advance harassment and gender harassment. In addition, we examined whether leader respect promotion moderates the relationship between leader harassment prevention behaviors (a previously established predictor) and the frequency of sexual advance and gender harassment. We found that leader respect promotion negatively predicted gender harassment and was not related to sexual advance harassment, for both men and women. In addition, leader respect promotion moderated the relationship between harassment prevention behaviors and gender harassment and sexual advance harassment (except for men) such that harassment was lowest when leaders promoted respect and prevented harassment. These results suggest that while traditional harassment prevention efforts remain important for deterring sexual harassment, a respectful climate is also an effective tool against sexual harassment.

Living in groups has profound impacts on numerous aspects of a species’ biology. As a result, understanding why groups form and why social relationships within groups vary are central themes in behavioral biology. This seminar will reveal how studies of largely unobservable subterranean rodents are generating new insights into the ecology, endocrinology, and evolution of group living. From naked mole-rats to tuco-tucos, tojos, and cururos, these often little-known animals are helping to reshape our understanding of animal social behavior.

The impact of retrieval practice, its underlying mechanisms, and the boundary conditions on its effective deployment have become topics of high interest in both basic and applied studies of academically-relevant learning. Results from a collaboration involving laboratory data collection at Michigan State University and Kalamazoo College and classroom data collection at Albion College show (a) comprehension of studied material is needed to gain the full benefits of retrieval practice on subsequent remembering, (b) when classroom topics are more difficult making comprehension a greater challenge, concept mapping becomes more effective than other retrieval-practice tools at producing potentially transferrable knowledge, but (c) better remembering does not in and of itself guarantee better transfer and application — you’ve got to remember the right material at the right time and realize its relevance.

Organized By: Veteran and Military Services

Military Support Programs and Networks (M-SPAN) is a portfolio of initiatives within the University of Michigan Depression Center and Department of Psychiatry dedicated to military and veteran mental health and wellness. M-SPAN integrates innovative approaches to outreach, overcoming stigma, and decreasing isolation, and includes the design and delivery of programs for service members, veterans and military families. Each flagship program was developed in response to identified gaps in services, and includes evidence-based approaches that have been tailored for specific populations. A rigorous program evaluation is integral to each initiative. Programs are incubated and evaluated at the University of Michigan, and disseminated through our partners to maximize impact. This session will cover the various M-SPAN programs serving veterans and their families, right here in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and how service members, veterans, spouses and partners can get involved with each one.

Organized By: Eisenberg Family Depression Center

Please join the Michigan Medicine Department of Psychiatry for the 23rd Annual Waggoner Lecture on Ethics & Values in Medicine. The title of this year’s talk is “Physicians, Public Speech and Politics.” It will be presented by Dr. Rebecca Weintraub Brendel, M.D., J.D. on Wednesday, November 7 from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. in Ford Auditorium at University Hospital.

Weintraub Brendel is the director of the master’s degree program at the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics. She bases her clinical work in psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) where she is the director of Law and Ethics at the Center for Law, Brain, and Behavior; provides medical oversight for the hospital’s inpatient guardianship team; and practices clinical and forensic psychiatry.

Dr. Brendel’s clinical practice has focused on patients with complex psychosocial problems, including trauma, dementia, mental illness, homelessness, substance abuse, decisional incapacity, lack of community support, and poverty. This broad work has informed her educational efforts and research interests focusing on issues at the interface of psychiatry, medicine, law, ethics, and human rights. She is an avid teacher and lecturer in both medical and legal settings.

Dr. Brendel graduated from both University of Chicago Law School and Pritzker School of Medicine. She completed her psychiatry residency at MGH and McLean Hospital and a forensic psychiatry fellowship at MGH. From 2006 – 2007, Dr. Brendel was the Edmond J. Safra Faculty Fellow in Ethics at Harvard University.

“We are delighted to welcome Dr. Brendel to our campus in November for this esteemed lectureship,” said Debra Pinals, M.D., clinical professor of psychiatry and director of the Program in Psychiatry, Law and Ethics at U-M. “Dr. Brendel brings a depth of knowledge to the field of psychiatry and ethics, and will be speaking on a timely topic related to physicians, politics and public speech. She is well suited to speak to the delicate intersection of these areas of focus from the perspective of a mental health and legal professional.”

The University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry established the Raymond W. Waggoner Lectureship on Ethics and Values in Medicine in 1996. This lectureship was created in honor of the late Dr. Waggoner, emeritus professor and past chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, who throughout his career and to all who knew him, exemplified the highest standards of integrity and ethics.

The esteemed lectureship is an annual event to recognize Dr. Waggoner’s enormous contributions to the Michigan Medicine medical center and to the profession, and to promulgate his interest in medical ethics.

Are social behaviors heritable? If so, how are they likely to respond to selection? This talk addresses these questions for two important social behaviors — social grooming and aggressive behavior — in a well-studied wild primate population, the baboons of the Amboseli basin in southern Kenya. We took a quantitative genetics approach to this problem, using the large existing pedigree for this population to estimate both the heritability of these traits and to simultaneously examine how these traits are influenced by environmental variables. To frame our work in terms of its likely implications for understanding natural selection, we also examined key female life history traits and investigated the evidence for life history tradeoffs — between reproduction and survival, and between current and future reproduction — in our population.

Abstract:
Working memory is enhanced for items that are prioritized via goal-driven attention. Stimulus-driven attention, or the guidance of attention based on the characteristics of a stimulus, can also benefit working memory when it is drawn to relevant information, but this mechanism is not yet understood. To this end, we proposed two hypotheses: first, that salience detection brain regions and processes would directly benefit working memory, and second, that working memory for information that elicits stimulus-driven attention would be improved indirectly through the enhancement of controlled processing. To test these ideas, we conducted two experiments using functional MRI and event-related brain potentials (ERPs). Our results showed increased activation only in cognitive control regions associated with the encoding of salient information. Our ERP results further corroborated this finding, showing larger amplitude in a parietal P3 potential associated with controlled processing of target information. Thus, we concluded that stimulus-driven attention can benefit working memory indirectly when cognitive control is enhanced to maintain task goals.

Michigan Neuroimaging Initiative: Characterizing the spectrum of task fMRI connectivity approaches (November 13, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57574 57574-14217848@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 13, 2018 4:00pm

Abstract:
Task-based functional connectivity (FC) approaches have typically sought to characterize the modulation of connectivity by task condition (e.g. PPI, beta-series correlation). However, other more “resting-state”-like approaches to task-based connectivity are gaining traction. These techniques examine FC over the entire task session and either leave in (AS Greene et al, Nat Comm 2018) or attempt to regress out (“background connectivity”, DA Fair et al, Neuroimage 2007) the effects of task stimuli. Existing somewhere between task-modulated FC and resting-state FC, what do these approaches have to offer our understanding of functional connectivity and -- more broadly -- cognition and disease? In my talk, I will:

outline the spectrum of task-based connectivity approaches, to get everyone on the same page identify the putative effects of leaving in or regressing out effects of task stimuli (and why this is a source of controversy) describe how these approaches are currently being used (in general, in aging/dementia research, and in our lab) ultimately stimulate a discussion of the research questions for which these techniques might be well-suited (or poorly-suited)

In sum, the talk as designed is methods-focused and built on a foundation of the concepts underlying the different approaches, but also tying in recent work actually using the approaches (including some of my work in Dr. Damoiseaux’s lab). As an aside, the Greene Nat Comm paper contains the data presented by Dustin Scheinost at UofM last April, so attendees of that talk will already have some background knowledge for this talk.

Neural control of innate behaviors and motivation



Many complex behaviors are displayed without requirement of learning and are termed innate. Although traditionally the subject matter of ethology, innate behaviors offer a unique entry point for neuroscientists to dissect the physiological mechanisms governing complex behaviors and are becoming the forefront of neuroscience research with the advent of optogenetic and chemogenetic tools that allow cell-type specific dissection of the neural circuits. In the past several years, our groups have studied the role of distinctive populations of hypothalamic neurons in the control innate social behaviors including mating, parental care and territorial aggression. We are particularly interested in understanding how neurons underlying individual behaviors interact with each other to coherently modulate behavioral outputs in a state-dependent and adaptive manner.

Does Harassment Prevention Prevent Harassment? Evidence from the Workplace (November 16, 2018 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57484 57484-14202421@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 16, 2018 1:30pm

Two decades ago the Supreme Court vetted the workplace harassment programs popular at the time; sexual harassment training and harassment grievance procedures. Yet harassment at work remains common. Do these programs reduce harassment? Program effects have been difficult to measure, but because women frequently quit their jobs after being harassed, programs that reduce harassment should help firms to retain current and aspiring women managers. Thus, effective programs should be followed by increases in women managers. We analyze data from 805 companies over 32 years to explore how new sexual harassment programs affect the representation of white, black, Hispanic, and Asian-American women in management. We find support for several propositions. First, sexual harassment grievance procedures, shown in surveys to incite retaliation without satisfying complainants, are followed by decreases in women managers. Second, training for managers, which encourages managers to look for signs of trouble and intervene, is followed by increases in women managers. Third, employee training, which proscribes specific behaviors and signals that male trainees are potential perpetrators, is followed by decreases in women managers. Two propositions specify how management composition moderates program effects. One, because women are more likely to believe harassment complaints and less likely to respond negatively to training, in firms with more women managers, programs work better. Two, in firms with more women managers, group threat may reduce the effectiveness of sexual harassment programs for white women – the group of women posing the biggest threat to male managers.

Pain is a complex and subjective experience often associated with noxious stimulation. However, in the past several decades it has become clear that the central nervous system (CNS) can augment or even cause pain in the absence of noxious input. In addition to chronic widespread pain, many patients have increased sensitivity to multiple sensory stimuli (e.g. sound, odor, and light) suggesting a global dysfunction in sensory processing. However, the CNS alterations associated with sensory hypersensitivity in chronic pain patients remain largely unknown. The prospective goal of my research is to identify network mechanisms that contribute to sensory hypersensitivity in chronic pain patients. Combining quantitative sensory testing, neuroimaging and computational data analysis methods, I will measure functional connectivity and network architecture at rest and during presentation of aversive stimuli in patients and healthy participants. These analyses aim to provide novel insight into how multiple brain regions interact and contribute to pain and sensory hypersensitivity. Furthermore, these results will help us to understand the neural signature of and mechanisms involved in multisensory processing in chronic pain.

Title: When Counting Doesn't Count: The Development of Math Skills in Young Children



Abstract: For decades schools have struggled with how to teach and increase the learning of mathematics in children. It has been the focus of multiple federal programs and funding agency (NSF, NIH, IES, Gates Foundation) initiatives. Even with all of this focus and research dollars, we see very few changes in children increasing their ability in mathematics especially in foundational skills like fractions. This presentation will review my research over the last few years on trying to understand the developmental pathways of math achievement. I will explore both individual characteristics (self-concept) and contextual influences (parenting, socioeconomic status) that may relate to the early development of math skills. Throughout the talk, the issue of whether or not counting is an important skill as children enter into schooling will be discussed as well as how math skills prior to formal schooling predict to college attendance.

Bio: Dr. Davis-Kean is Professor of Psychology (Developmental) at the University of Michigan where her research focuses on the various pathways that the socio-economic status (SES) of parents relates to the cognitive/achievement outcomes of their children, specifically math achievement. Her primary focus is on parental educational attainment and how it can influence the development of the home environment throughout childhood, adolescence, and the transition to adulthood. Davis-Kean is also a Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research where she is the Program Director of the Population, Neurodevelopment, and Genetics (PNG) program. This collaboration examines the complex transactions of brain, biology, and behavior as children and families develop across time. She is interested in how both the micro (brain and biology) and macro (family and socioeconomic conditions) aspects of development relate to cognitive changes in children across the lifespan.

Neural Basis for the Metabolic Control of Reproduction

It is well-established that a minimum amount of stored energy is required for normal pubertal development and for reproductive health in adult life. On the other hand, excess energy also negatively impacts the reproductive physiology. Elevated adiposity in women aggravates polycystic ovary syndrome, ovulatory dysfunction and decreases the reproductive capacity. In obese men, fertility is diminished due to altered activity of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and defective steroidogenesis. The increasing rates of childhood obesity have been correlated with early puberty and its deleterious consequences. Earlier menarche in girls is associated with increased risk of adult obesity, type 2 Diabetes and breast cancer. Thus, changing levels of key metabolic cues is an essential signal to the onset of puberty and the adequate function of the reproductive system in adult life. The adipocyte hormone leptin signals the amount of energy stored to the HPG axis. Humans and mice with leptin signaling deficiency are obese and infertile, remaining in a pre-pubertal state. However, the neural basis for the primary reproductive actions of leptin remains unclear. Our laboratory has identified the hypothalamic ventral premammillary nucleus (PMV) as an essential relay of leptin action in reproductive physiology. Our working hypothesis is that the PMV has three distinct neuronal components, i.e., one excitatory, one inhibitory, and one synchronizer. The balance among them would determine the responses of the HPG axis to metabolic challenges. In this seminar, we will discuss the findings supporting our hypothesis. We have used viro- and chemo-genetic in mouse models to determine the roles of glutamate neurotransmission (excitatory component) and dopamine transporter-expressing neurons (inhibitory component) in reproductive control. We will also discuss preliminary and ongoing studies indicating the nitric oxide works as a synchronizer component in the activity of the PMV neuronal network.

Humans are fundamentally social beings. Our connections with others offer opportunities for support and nurturance but can also be potent sources of stress and pain. In this talk, I will describe my research examining the psychological and biological mechanisms that connect negative interpersonal experiences to our physical health. First, using evidence from disease models of asthma and the common cold, I will show how potent interpersonal stressful events occurring during the first two decades of life contribute to both nearer-term and longer-term physical health outcomes. Specifically, I will focus on experiences of social rejection and family acrimony, emphasizing the role the immune system plays in carrying these negative experiences over time to affect health. Next, I will present work showing that receiving a hug may protect against the harmful psychological consequences of negative interpersonal experiences in daily life. I will conclude by discussing future research plans.

Medicine in the 21st century is being increasingly influenced by two concepts: Precision Medicine and the Learning Healthcare System. To broadly realize the promise of precision medicine (and health), it is necessary to use frameworks of implementation science grounded in the philosophy of the learning healthcare system to achieve robust implementation and value. This presentation will describe the implementation of a precision health program in an integrated healthcare delivery system aspiring to become a learning healthcare system. It will include early outcomes for the CDC Tier 1 genomic medicine conditions that identify significant care gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Love is one of humanity’s most powerful emotions, inspiring some of the greatest art, literature and conquests of all time. While aspects of love are surely unique to our species, human romantic relationships are displays of a mating system characterized by pair bonding, likely built on ancient foundational neural mechanisms governing individual recognition, social reward, territorial behavior and maternal nurturing. Dr. Young will discuss his work on monogamous prairie voles that provide insights into neural mechanisms and evolution of pair bonding, and the implications for the neurobiology of Love.

Abstract: Networks are everywhere! They provide a powerful way to detect patterns and relationships within big data systems. But, are they meaningful when the “system” is an individual person? Indeed, the reliability and validity of network approaches have been questioned in the social and medical sciences; network results are assumed to generalize across people and time, but these assumptions rarely hold because people are heterogeneous and dynamic. The goal of this presentation is to introduce a person-specific perspective to network modeling, and to illustrate the accuracy of a particular modeling approach called group iterative multiple model estimation (GIMME). Two novel GIMME-related applications will also be presented. In the first, GIMME will be used to detect individualized time-varying neural connectivity during a resting state, revealing connectivity parameters that are associated with cognitive impulsivity. In the second, GIMME will be used to identify personalized links among emoji-based emotion structures and daily depressive symptomatology. This is an ongoing work with possible extensions to big(ger) data (e.g., Twitter) and with implications for precision health care.

Despite extensive efficacy findings, a sizable subgroup of individuals remains refractory to CBT. In particular, patients with “distress disorders” (generalized anxiety disorder and/or major depressive disorder) evidence suboptimal treatment response coupled with reduced life functioning and satisfaction. These patients are often characterized by intense emotional experiences resulting in an inordinately cautious manner that favors protection over reward as well as perseverative cognition (i.e., worry, rumination) that disrupts new contextual learning. Using this hypothesized profile as a framework, Emotion Regulation Therapy (ERT) was developed as a theoretically-derived, evidence based, treatment integrating principles from traditional and contemporary CBT with basic and translational findings from affect science to offer a blueprint for improving intervention by focusing on the motivational responses and corresponding regulatory characteristics of individuals with distress disorders. This presentation will offer an introduction to ERT by reviewing open-label and randomized controlled trial findings as well as recent studies that begin to elucidate the neurobehavioral and peripheral psychophysiological markers for the proposed underlying mechanisms.

Unseen Influences: A Dyadic Approach to Understanding the Links between Social and Biological Processes (December 3, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57962 57962-14381738@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 3, 2018 3:00pm

In what ways are social experiences affected by biological states—how tired, hungry, sick, or physiologically aroused we are? In turn, how do social experiences impact biological processes? Are these effects contagious, spreading across people? In this talk, I explore these questions, focusing on one particular biological process, sleep. More than 69% of U.S. adults get less sleep than they need, making sleep problems an increasingly ubiquitous and problematic issue. In Part 1, I examine the reciprocal relationship between sleep and social rejection, including discrimination. In Part 2, I take a dyadic perspective, considering the ways in which people are influenced not only by their own sleep, but by their romantic partner’s sleep as well. Across studies, I highlight physiological and cognitive mechanisms underlying these links, as well as identify individual differences that make people more or less vulnerable to them. These studies utilize a multi-method approach, combining self-report, observational, and behavioral measures with autonomic nervous system reactivity and neuroendocrine responses in both naturalistic (longitudinal, daily experience) and experimental (lab- and field-based) designs. Together, these studies highlight the ways in which social and biological processes can exert potentially unseen influence on each other, creating the possibility of a vicious cycle, not just within one individual, but across people as well.

Generation and manipulation of combinatorial connectivity for olfactory perception

Animals navigate complex and changing environments by combining instinct with memories of past experiences. The structures of neural circuits that represent sensory information for innate and learned interpretation are different from one another, with innate interpretations generated by circuits with predictable wiring, and flexible learned interpretations generated by circuits with unpredictable wiring. I will present the Clowney lab's progress in interrogating how neurons of the insect olfactory learning center acquire sparse and unpredictable olfactory inputs during development.

Social influence under the skin: Physiological linkage during dyadic and group interactions (December 5, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57964 57964-14381740@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 5, 2018 12:00pm

During social interactions, people influence each other in a variety of subtle and overt ways—for example, through their tone of voice, nonverbal behaviors, and facial expressions. In this talk, I will describe a particular case of social influence—physiological linkage—which occurs when one person’s physiological response predicts another person’s physiological response at a future time point. First, I will present a theoretical framework for understanding how physiological linkage occurs and the psychological inferences that can be drawn from it. Next, I will describe a set of studies examining physiological linkage alongside dyadic behaviors, group outcomes, and country-level measures of social relationships. Across these studies, I will show that linkage is conditional and occurs when people are socially attuned to one another. Finally, I will discuss the importance of physiological linkage for understanding dyadic and group behavior, as well as implications of these findings for health and well-being.

What makes certain sounds scary? I will describe insights gained from over three decades of studying alarm calls and fear screams in marmots (which are large, mostly-alpine, ground squirrels) throughout the northern hemisphere. Fear screams are remarkably similar across taxa and they seem to be particularly evocative to many species. My studies of non-humans suggest that it is the noise and non-linearities in them that is what evokes negative emotions and heighted responses in those hearing them. I formalize this in ‘the non-linearity and fear hypothesis’ and discuss my tests of the hypothesis in studies of marmots, birds, film soundtracks, and humans. The sound of fear is non-linear.

The costs and benefits of cognitive control and motivation: the curious case of choking under pressure

“Don’t overthink it! Just do it!” These phrases are commonly uttered to skilled individuals just before a performance. Many people have the intuition that exerting too much control over well-learned actions can be harmful, especially when under pressure to perform. This effect can be demonstrated experimentally by manipulating participants’ attentional focus and/or inducing performance pressure via monetary incentives. At the same time, most day-to-day activities clearly benefit from goal-directed cognitive control and enhanced motivation. Further, training regimes and coaching often make use of explicit, reflective instruction to augment performance. How do the mechanisms of cognitive control and motivation both support and potentially hamper the activity of neural systems needed for successful performance? This question is explored in a variety of studies using functional neuroimaging, non-invasive brain stimulation, behavioral studies, and computational modeling.

Mood Lifters: A new approach to mental health care.

"Everyone faces problems with relationships, work, life transitions (such as job loss), and other challenges that make life less joyful. In fact, at any given time, 70% of people report feeling stress and over 30% report symptoms of anxiety and depression. Many people do not feel comfortable visiting a psychologist or psychiatrist to get help. They want to get better on their own. They are afraid to be labeled as “crazy” or seen as weak. Others cannot afford the high cost of traditional mental health care. Further, many people can’t find well trained providers who provide the latest, scientifically proven care. There are simply too few providers who can provide effective mental health care when it is needed. The lack of comfort, high cost, long waiting lists and shortage of providers are constant barriers to getting help with these common problems. You will hear about Mood Lifters is a new, peer-led, instant access, affordable and science-based program designed to improve mental wellness and decrease sadness and anxiety. Mood Lifters weaves together the most effective biological, psychological and social techniques, based on cutting edge research, to provide strategies that people can use to make changes, develop healthy habits and live the life they want. Mood Lifters was developed by a University of Michigan professor and is scientifically proven to reduce depression and anxiety and increase joy and empowerment.

Talk Title: From Talkers to Readers: Developing a Reading Brain in Kindergarten

Abstract: A universal marker of proficient reading is print-speech neural convergence, or the integration of visual and auditory language processing in the brain. How and when does this convergence emerge? What drives the development of the print-speech network, setting the stage for successful reading acquisition in young children?

In this talk, we will examine the relationship between spoken language proficiency and the emergence of print-speech convergence in beginning readers. fMRI neuroimaging of kindergarteners (ages 5-6) demonstrates that print-speech convergence is preceded and predicted by language proficiency, which in turn predicts reading ability one year later. These findings suggest that children’s language ability is a core mechanism guiding neural plasticity for learning to read. Results extend our understanding of brain development for literacy to the earliest stages of reading, and bridge theoretical perspectives across developmental psychology, education, and neuroscience.

Bio: Rebecca is a 4th year doctoral candidate in the Combined Program in Education and Psychology. She graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2013 with a degree in Philosophy, Neuroscience & Psychology. While there, she conducted research on language and social cognition in bilingual preschoolers. After graduating, she taught with Teach for America, where she saw her research interest in language development and bilingualism translated to the classroom context. She now works with Dr. Ioulia Kovelman, as well as Fumiko Hoeft (NOTE: PRONOUNCED HAY-FT) at the University of Connecticut, to understand language and literacy development in linguistically diverse youth.

Biopsychology Colloquium:
Using Avian Genomics to Innovate the Study of Stress-Induced Reproductive Dysfunction

Brief synopsis:
Stress is a well-known cause of reproductive dysfunction in many species, including birds, rodents, and humans, though stereotypical males and females often respond differently. A powerful way to investigate how stress affects reproduction is by examining its effects on a biological system essential for regulating reproduction, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Join Dr. Calisi Rodríguez as she uses avian models to test causal and sex-typical effects of stress on genomic transcription of the HPG axis. By doing so, her lab has been creating an extensive genomic foundation on which to innovate the study of stress-induced reproductive dysfunction, with the potential to transform the fields of stress and reproductive biology.

Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

We stand on the brink of the new knowledge revolution.

As the quantity of knowledge has exploded exponentially, the current means for representing knowledge—words and pictures that must be interpreted by humans—have reached their limits. Our ability to use the ever-growing body of scientific, biomedical knowledge rests on efforts to transform how knowledge is expressed into abstract models that can inform action through computation.

This persistent computable knowledge is the “Keystone” that holds the Learning Cycle Together. At the LHS Collaboratory Seminar Series event on Tuesday, January 15, learn about the movement underway to promote the advancement of computable biomedical knowledge. Join Rachel Richesson, PhD, MPH, from Duke University, along with colleagues from the University of Michigan to hear more about the movement and ways to join the community!

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

For individuals who are members of socially stigmatized identity groups, recruitment and hiring processes can signal belonging, fairness and identity safety, or wariness and identity threat. This talk will focus on how the changing landscape of hiring processes, particularly the use of technology, can lead to subtle identity contingency cues affecting the experiences and performance of applicants. Results of studies on how demographic variability in assessment materials affects performance and assessments of organizational fit will be discussed as an illustration. Projections regarding how the use of avatars, algorithms, digital interviewing, mobile platforms, and other technological advances in hiring may affect identity safety and threat will be discussed.

Title: Alpha Oscillations and Self-referential processing: Implications for Cultural variation in the Self

Abstract:
Functional neuroimaging studies have revealed that at rest the brain shows high activation in a network of cortical regions known as the default mode network. Consistent with this work, electrocortical studies demonstrate that alpha, a neural oscillation, similarly increases in power during rest and when people engage in self-referential processing. However, there are substantial individual and cultural differences in alpha power during rest. Here, we tested whether variation in alpha power could be explained by culture and self-construal. Previous cross-cultural work established that American culture tends to emphasize the autonomy of the self (independence), whereas Asian culture tends to emphasize the self in reference to others (interdependence). We hypothesized that alpha power would be greater among Americans than Asians and should increase as a function of independent versus interdependent self-construal. To test these predictions, we collected data from a total 172 participants and compared Japanese to European Americans (Study 1) and Taiwanese to European Americans (Study 2). In both studies, we found greater parietal versus frontal alpha power among American participants compared to the two Asian groups. Importantly, the magnitude of alpha power was highly correlated with self-construal across cultures, such that more independent and less interdependent people showed greater alpha at rest. This effect in part explained the cultural difference in alpha power. Our findings provide evidence that alpha oscillations may in part underlie cultural variation in self-construal and highlight the promise of alpha oscillations to understand self-referential processing and variation across groups.
