Olá,

É com muito prazer que o PPGI  e o Núcleo de Estudos em Leitura (NEL) convidam a tod@s a participar do evento “Neurocognitive research in language processing and memory” que acontecerá na UFSC, nos dias 07 e 08 de outubro, na Sala Machado de Assis, 4º. Andar, prédio B do CCE.

Dr. Karen Waldie is an Associate Professor in the School of Psychology and Research Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Auckland-NZ. Karen Waldie’s research interests can be broadly categorized into those that rely on acute cross-sectional experimental techniques, and those which rely on data collected from longitudinal studies. Her experimental work combines techniques from cognitive neuroscience (e.g., functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG)) and clinical neuropsychology. She is currently leading a large fMRI study to determine the neural basis of dyslexia, dyscalculia and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (Auckland Comorbidity Study).

Dr. Ian Kirk is an Associate Professor in the School of Psychology; co-director of the Cognitive Neuroimaging, Neuroplasticity and Neurodevelopment laboratory, and Associate Director of the Centre for Brain Research at the University of Auckland-NZ). Ian Kirk’s research interests include the neural systems involved in memory and attentional processes, and the genetic mechanisms that modulate development of, and activity in, the following  systems: cerebral asymmetries; music perception and production; and plastic neural processes involved in memory. He employs functional (EEG and fMRI) and structural (DTI) imaging to investigate the temporal and spatial neurodynamics, and the anatomical substrates, of cognitive processes.

Dr. Veema Lodhia is a Technical TL at the University of Auckland, primarily responsible for the School of Psychology Neuroimaging research facility (EEG lab). Her research interests include auditory neuroscience, visual neuroscience, perception, developmental disorders (e.g. Autism), noise sensitivity, brain connectivity & structure, electroencephalography (EEG), Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and fMRI techniques. She is currently upskilling in Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) techniques for the labs new TMS unit.

Davi Alves de Oliveira é Mestre em Inglês pelo PPGI-UFSC e Técnico em Informática pelo Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Bahia (IFBA, Campus Jacobina), com ênfase em desenvolvimento Web e ciência de dados com a linguagem R. Atua como Professor Substituto na Universidade do Estado da Bahia (UNEB, Departamento de Ciências Humanas, Campus IV, Jacobina, Colegiado de Letras, Língua Inglesa e Literaturas). Faz parte dos grupos de estudos Formação em Linguagem e Ensino (FALE/DIFEBA) e dos grupos de Pesquisa LEFOR e Desleituras.
