Allen L. Edwards Psychology Lecture Series with Dr. Joerg T. Albert, Professor of Sensory Physiology & Behavior, University of Oldenburg, Germany
Perfect Distortions: What Mosquito Ears Can Tell Us About the Nonlinear Ways of Our Minds, Dr. Joerg T. Albert, Professor of Sensory Physiology & Behavior, University of Oldenburg, Germany
The title of this lecture is arguably misleading, probably deceptive. It suggests a straight line (but straight lines are tricks of light anyway) between its somewhat arcane content - i.e. the biophysics of hearing in mosquitoes and fruit flies - and its relevance to understanding our brains. Can this be true? Can any lecture live up to such hyperbole? In good dialectic tradition, I would try it first with a decided Yes and No, uncertain where that will take us.
But I do know where it will start. It will start with the common ground of all animal nervous systems.

At the Crossroads of Cognition and Emotion: From Basic Processes to Clinical Insights, Hadas Okon-Singer, Department of Psychology, University of Haifa, Israel; and Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany
Cognitive biases — such as attentional biases toward aversive cues, distorted expectations of negative events, and biased interpretations of ambiguity — are central features of many forms of psychopathology. Gaining a deeper understanding of the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying these biases is crucial for advancing theoretical models and clinical interventions.
In this talk, I will present a series of studies exploring emotional biases in both healthy individuals and participants diagnosed with social anxiety, major depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. First, I will discuss research on interpersonal distance estimation and preference among individuals with social anxiety and autism, as well as shifts in social distance perception during the…
