DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the visi
 on of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972
 –1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks 
 will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, co
 gnitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientis
 ts from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally
  and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual fo
 rum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary ex
 changes on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive
  disorders.\n\n\nRegister for In-Person\n\nTo watch online\, click here\n
 \n\nGlimpses Into the Social Mind: Decoding Messages From Faces and Eyes\n
 \nAbstract: Human brain is fundamentally a social brain\, with its percept
 ual and cognitive systems evolved to support a diverse set of processes ai
 med at enabling our complex social functions. While in the last decades th
 e field has advanced considerably in understanding the mechanisms by which
  the perceptual and cognitive faculties support our social behavior\, ther
 e remains a lack of knowledge about how social information is communicated
  between individuals nonverbally. Here\, Jelena Ristic will present result
 s which show that limiting face visibility limits its social value\, eyes 
 transmit key social messages\, and social group size modulates how we inte
 ract with others. Together\, these data show that visual signals from face
 s and eyes convey complex social messages and represent key vehicles for h
 uman social communication.\n\nJelena Ristic\n\nProfessor\, Department of P
 sychology 91ÉçÇø\n\n\n\nJelena Ristic is a Professor of Psychol
 ogy at 91ÉçÇø. She is an international expert in the field of s
 ocial cognition and cognitive neuroscience with over 110 scholarly contrib
 utions\, appearing in prominent journals like Nature Communications Psycho
 logy\, Nature Reviews Psychology\, Annals of the New York Academy of Scien
 ces\, Current Directions in Psychological Science\, iScience\, Cognition\,
  and Psychonomic Bulletin & Review. Ristic graduated with a BA\, MA\, and 
 PhD from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver Canada and traine
 d as a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Psychological and Brain Sc
 iences at the University of California Santa Barbara in Santa Barbara Cali
 fornia. Ristic won national and international awards for academic and ment
 orship success\, including a Mid-career Award from the Canadian Society fo
 r Brain Behaviour and Cognitive Science (2023)\, Best Article Awards from 
 the American Psychological Association (2018) and the Canadian Psychologic
 al Association (2019)\, and a Mentorship Award (2017) from Women in Cognit
 ive Science (WiCS). Ristic is an elected Fellow of the Psychonomic Society
  internationally and the Canadian Society for Brain Behaviour and Cognitiv
 e Science nationally and serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of 
 Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance and Visual Cogni
