Research Methods of Biopsychology
With some information regarding the organization of neurons and neural pathways, we are ready to start getting into some deeper topics. But before we do that, it will be useful to get a general sense of precisely how we learn about the things we will be discussing. The brain is complicated

The way that humans communicate is very complex. We have an innate ability to understand and formulate language. As one might imagine, the accompanying brain activity is also quite complex, involving several different regions with very specific functions. Let's go in for a closer look! Wa

The Sensorimotor System and Human Reflexes
We just learned all about how sensory information from the surroundings makes it to the brain, but once it's there, the brain has to then tell the body what to do to respond to its surroundings. This happens thanks to the sensorimotor system, so let's learn all about motor response now! W

Neurotransmitters: Type, Structure, and Function
We know that neurotransmitters are signaling molecules that travel across the synaptic space to interact with receptors and propagate signals from one neuron to the next. But what are these molecules? What are their structures? How do they work? Let's get a closer look! Watch the whole Bi

Staudinger Reactions - Bioothogonal before Click Chemistry
The original bioorthogonal chemistry using azides and their reaction phosphines to form aza-ylids, which can do bioconjugation reactions and other useful transformations in organic synthesis. The aza-ylid (aminophosphorane) generated can react directly with water in a hydrolysis reaction

Daniel Remenik: The KPZ fixed point - Part 2
Abstract: In these lectures I will present the recent construction of the KPZ fixed point, which is the scaling invariant Markov process conjectured to arise as the universal scaling limit of all models in the KPZ universality class, and which contains all the fluctuation behavior seen in

Angela Kunoth: 25+ Years of Wavelets for PDEs
Abstract: Ingrid Daubechies' construction of orthonormal wavelet bases with compact support published in 1988 started a general interest to employ these functions also for the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). Concentrating on linear elliptic and parabolic PDEs,

Maurice Duits -- CLTs for biorthogonal ensembles: Beyond the Strong Szegö Limit Theorem
The Strong Szegö Limit Theorem for Toeplitz determinants implies a CLT for linear statistics for eigenvalues of a CUE matrix. The first part of the talk will be an overview of results on various extensions of the Strong Szegö Limit theorem to determinants of truncated exponentials of ban

In time series analysis there is an apparent dichotomy between time and frequency domain methods. The aim of this paper is to draw connections between frequency and time domain methods. Our focus will be on reconciling the Gaussia likelihood and the Whittle likelihood. We derive an exact,

The Autonomic Nervous System: Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Divisions
We've learned quite a bit about the peripheral nervous system, which has a sensory division and a motor division. The latter is the one that tells the body what to do, and this is divided into the somatic nervous system, which involves voluntary motion, and the autonomic nervous system, wh
