Title	Description	Interviewee	Producer	Duration
Location of the episodic buffer	Where is the episodic buffer located within the anatomy of the brain? Baddeley's initial hunch was to located it in the hippocampus - but recent studies with an amnestic indiviual with severe hippocampal damage has shown that tasks requiring...	Alan Baddeley	goCognitive	00:02:09
Marlene Behrmann - Attention and Perception Disorders	Attention is a central concept in cognitive psychology. In her research, Dr. Marlene Behrmann from Carnegie Mellon University addresses basic problems in attention and the role that attention plays in cognitive disorders such as hemispatial neglect...	Marlene Behrmann	goCognitive
Maturation of the linguistic brain	Even though there are only few controlled studies of early infant’s brain function, the evidence seems to be conclusive that brain regions which are central for language processing in adults are also active in very young children. However, even in...	Angela Friederici	goCognitive	00:05:43
Maureen Schmitter-Edgecombe - MCI and Dementia	Long-term memory is one of the fundamental cognitive abilities that plays a role in everyday life. As we age, long-term memory often declines and mild cognitive impairments and memory loss become a serious problem. Dr. Maureen Schmitter-Edgecombe...	Maureen Schmitter-Edgecombe	goCognitive
Medical decision making	How are heuristics helpful in real-word situations? Dr. Gigerenzer describes how simple heuristics can improve medical decision making over much more complex solutions. By ignoring much of the available information, simple heuristics often are...	Gerd Gigerenzer	goCognitive	00:07:37
Michael Posner - Neuroscience of Attention	Dr. Michael Posner from the University of Oregon has been a leader in the development and application of modern neuroscience techniques. His main research is focused on attention and in his interview he discusses the history of attentional theory...	Michael Posner	goCognitive
Mirror Mechanisms Application in Neurorehabilitation	Dr. Giacomo Rizzolatti’s study shows that mirror neurons fire when the subject observes or performs a specific action and that it also activates the motor cortex simply by observation. Therefore, he explains that this activation of the mirror neuron...	Giacomo Rizzolatti	goCognitive	00:04:38
Mirror Neurons: From Monkeys to Humans	Dr. Giacomo Rizzolatti explains how he discovered mirror neurons in humans. Once he discovered the existence of mirror neurons in monkeys, he decided to investigate if the same mechanisms existed in humans and found that they are, in fact, present....	Giacomo Rizzolatti	goCognitive	00:07:24
Modulation of Emotional Responses	Emotional responses are control by the prefrontal lobe. Dr. Giacomo Rizzolatti discusses the blocking mechanism in the prefrontal lobe, which helps people in reduce of intensity of their emotions and actions (e.g., empathetic reactions). He explains...	Giacomo Rizzolatti	goCognitive	00:01:19
Movement restoration after stroke	Stroke patients often lose the ability to control parts of their body. Dr. Birbaumer discusses how science and technology have been working together to help such patients regain control of their limbs. His research with brain-computer interfaces (...
