Winners of Neuroscience Cover Competition 2009 announced
Winning Neuroscience Cover 2009
The IBRO Publications Committee has announced the 2009 winning cover image of the annual Neuroscience cover competition. It was taken from an article by T. Tadi, L.S. Overney and O. Blanke, of the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, Brain-Mind Institute, École Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland. (Professor Blanke is also with the Department of Neurology, University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland.)
The article, "Three sequential brain activations encode mental transformations of upright and inverted human bodies: A high resolution evoked potential study,” was published in Neuroscience, Vol. 159 (2009), No. 4, 1315-1325. The authors will receive a prize of $500 from Elsevier, the publishers of Neuroscience.
The first author, Tej Tadi (tej.tadi@epfl.ch) describes the research behind the paper and the technique behind the image:
"Research at the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, EPFL is focused on the investigation of functional and neural mechanisms of body perception, corporeal awareness, and self consciousness in the normal brain and in neurological and psychiatric disease. We combine techniques from experimental psychology and cognitive science with Neuroimaging (high density EEG and fMRI) and Virtual Reality.
The cover illustration displays the brain activity in temporo-parietal cortex, 220 milliseconds after stimulus onset when participants were asked to imagine their body in the position and perspective of the humanoid body presented on the computer screen. The image was created using a combination of 3D modeling software (MotionBuilder; Autodesk, USA) and EEG analysis software (Cartool, University of Geneva). The 3D environment and humanoid were created using the modeling software. The brain activity from EEG data was then superimposed onto the image." Cover Competition 2010
The IBRO Publications Committee will judge the best cover from the journal's 2010 issues. The authors of the articles in which the cover design appeared will be eligible for the contest. The winner will receive $500 from Elsevier Ltd., publisher of Neuroscience.
