SUMMARY:Protection and Removal of Information in Working Memory
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Professor Jarrod A. Lewis-Peacock will be delivering a seminar entitled: ‘Protection and Removal of Information in Working Memory’. \nAbstract: Protecting information in working memory from distraction is essential to goal-directed behavior. Discarding information from working memory may be just as important\, as outdated information consumes precious storage capacity and can interfere with current goals. In this talk\, I will discuss both of these abilities. First\, I will review recent advances in cognitive psychology and neuroscience that have produced new insights into the nature of working memory and its ability to resist distraction. This includes our recent findings which demonstrate that the benefits associated with prioritization in working memory include a “bend but don’t break” policy for enduring distraction. Second\, I will describe our recent neuroimaging work focused on intentionally removing information from working memory. We’ve identified distinct strategies for removal that have unique but stable patterns of brain activity with surprising consequences on the encoding of new information. \nYou can also join the seminar virtually on Microsoft Teams.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:The Fairbrother Lecture - Behind Electric Eyes: Facial Recognition Surveillance in Public Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Automatic facial recognition technology is increasingly used by both public and private sector organisations to manage and police public spaces. The operation of facial recognition in public spaces – and our access to the right to privacy – shifts depending on whether it is a public or a private sector organisation that is watching us. But does it make a difference who is watching and why? And what does it mean for our right to privacy? \nFacial recognition surveillance is used to identify and verify people in real time but without any obligation to gain their consent. While public sector surveillance must be justified by the public interest\, the private sector is able to use facial recognition in pursuit of a range of commercial interests. These interests extend beyond criminal acts and could include activities that might result in an individual being banned from private property\, such as smoking\, walking a dog or taking photos. To complicate matters\, we are often unaware of crossing thresholds into spaces where surveillance is privately controlled. Does the introduction of facial recognition provide us with increased protections\, or hold hidden pitfalls? \nJoin socio-legal researcher William Page to be guided through the growing use of this technology\, what it means for human rights\, the relevance of recent political developments surrounding the potential withdrawal of the Human Rights Act 1998\, and the changing nature of contemporary public spaces. This free public lecture will provide an introduction to the issue\, look at recent research and consider important future questions. Do we understand our rights when under the gaze of electronic eyes? \nThe Fairbrother Lecture is a University public lecture named after Jack Fairbrother who in 1929 became one of the first students to be awarded a PhD from the University. The lecture is an annual event at which a Reading doctoral researcher presents their research to a wider audience. \nRegister to attend.

SUMMARY:Farm management and policy approaches to support the journey to net-zero
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Minette Batters\, NFU’s president\, is invited to deliver the 2023 Annual Edit Mary Gayton lecture and present her views on the farm management and policy approaches that are needed to support the journey to net-zero farming without compromising food security and quality. \nThe NFU has set the ambitious goal of reaching net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the whole of agriculture in England and Wales by 2040. This NFU’s contribution to the UK’s ambition of net zero by 2050. Agriculture is uniquely placed to be part of the solution\, as both an emissions source and a sink. The NFU’s assessment is that we can only deliver net zero if we act across a range of internationally recognised inventories. \nThere is no single answer to this problem. To achieve this goal a range of measures are needed that fall under three broad headings: \n\nImproving farming’s productive efficiency;\nImproving land management and changing land use to capture more carbon;\nBoosting renewable energy and the wider bioeconomy\n\nThis is a hybrid event. The in person session will be held in the School of Agriculture\, Policy and Development\, University of Reading. To book a place for the in-person event please email Teresa Hicks at t.m.hicks@reading.ac.uk. \nTo book a place on the virtual event\, register via Eventbrite. \nFor joining us online please use the following link: \nhttps://tinyurl.com/2wmnnx5s – The virtual room will be open at 18:55[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:The dark side of prediction: Pervasive false memories for nouns predicted but not seen
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Dr Katja Haeuser from Saarland University is delivering a seminar entitled: ‘The dark side of prediction: Pervasive false memories for nouns predicted but not seen.’ \nAbstract: An accumulating body of research has shown that predictability modulates online language processing\, in that language users anticipate semantic features\, and sometimes word forms\, of upcoming linguistic material. In contrast\, there is a shortage of studies addressing the longer-term memory consequences of having predictions confirmed or disconfirmed. In this talk\, I will show how my work has helped inform research on the conditions that enable word form prediction during reading\, and that promote learning following prediction error. In particular\, I will highlight how psycholinguistic concepts can inform theories on memory consolidation and error-driven language learning. I will conclude with an outlook on my current research agenda that investigates memory illusions rooted in predictive processing from a lifespan perspective. \nJoin the online seminar on Microsoft Teams.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Essential minerals in milk: their variation and nutritional implications hybrid event
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Institute for Food\, Nutrition and Health’s hybrid event “Essential minerals in milk: their variation and nutritional implications” showcases the results from the EIT Food project NUTRIMILK\, an investigation of the variation in macrominerals and trace elements in retail milk throughout the year and the nutritional implications for consumers. The hybrid event will take place on Friday 16 December at 12.00 – 14.00\, in-person at the Frank Parkinson room\, Agriculture Building\, University of Reading\, as well as live online via MS Teams\, and includes two parts: \n\n12:00-13:00 (hybrid). Presentation: Macrominerals and trace elements in cows’ retail milk: seasonal variation and implications for consumer nutrition\, by Dr Sokratis Stergiadis\, Associate Professor at the University of Reading\n13:00-14:00 (in-person only). Networking and lunch: Tea/coffee and lunch will be provided for those who will be able to attend in-person at the Frank Parkinson room.\n\nThe attendance is free but registration for both\, in-person and online is required. Deadline for registration is Monday 12 December 17:00 GMT. \nTo register your attendance\, please visit our webinar Eventbrite page. Please feel free to share the invitation within your professional networks. \nAbstract: Milk is an important dietary source of essential macrominerals and trace elements (Ca\, I\, P\, Zn\, K\, Se\, Mg\, Na)\, but there is substantial seasonal variation in their concentrations because of different feeding management between seasons. This large variation may increase the risk of nutrient imbalances throughout the year\, particularly in demographics with higher requirements (toddlers\, children\, pregnant/nursing women). Farm-to-fork interventions can improve consistency in mineral composition but the seasonal and production systems’ variation of the retail milk mineral profile is unknown\, thus making it difficult for the food and livestock industry to identify the potential risks to nutrient supply. This project study will investigate the seasonal variation in macromineral and trace element concentrations of milk from conventional and organic dairy systems\, and assess the impact on mineral intakes of the different demographics across the year. Results can be used to inform food-chain interventions for optimum milk mineral contents.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”25792″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
