[Seminar] Is Cardiac Synchronization an aspect of the Shared Body Schema? Learning from expert musicians
Speaker: Dr. Simon Høffding , University of Southern Denmark
Abstract: «In this talk, I firstly go through the notion of the body schema as the possibility of including other objects or even subjects into our own lived body. I present phenomenological interviews with expert musicians that give us reason to believe that a dimension of their shared musical expertise consists in the construction of such a shared body schema, as a robust sense of “we-ness”. Hypothesizing that cardiac synchronization (CS) (also known as heart rate variability synchronization) might instantiate or contribute to a physiological dimension of this we-ness, a recent experiment indeed, shows that expert musicians have significantly higher CS than adepts and that this synchronization is resilient to performative challenges. Thus, I tentatively argue that CS should be considered as indexical of a shared body schema.»

OIST-KEIO SHOWCASE TALK Series 4
OIST is a private university established in 2011, under Japanese government auspices. While new, OIST has made remarkable progress by conducting research that bridges disciplines to explore new frontiers of scientific knowledge. Keio University, Japan’s first private university founded in 1858, has led Japanese academia with its tradition and innovative mindset. Both universities now come together to launch interdisciplinary collaboration at an institutional level. The “Keio-OIST Showcase Talk” series is our signature event, where researchers not only present their recent research, but can seek advice, discuss solutions, and find friends and prospective collaborators.

OIST Science Challenge
OIST Science Challenge workshop provides participants with a unique opportunity to extend their scientific education and experience research. We also offer valuable information and tips to help them prepare for a doctoral program. Through a series of activities with faculty, postdocs, as well as with PhD students, the participants will learn about research conducted at OIST, and skills needed to survive and enjoy a PhD life. At the end of the workshop, participants will be asked to present a submitted slide presentation on the theme "How will your research impact future society?" in light of their experience throughout the week. The presentation will be shared with the OIST community. Airfare, accommodation, and meals during the workshop will be provided by OIST.

[Seminar] "Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy" by Dr. Xiaomin Liu (Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Germany)
Title: Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy
Abstract: The research in my group focuses mainly on the development of single-molecule fluorescence microscopy techniques, based on new types of fluorescence dyes and advanced laser systems. Such microscopy techniques could not only provide optical super-resolution imaging with nanometer-scale resolution, but also enable 2D/3D molecular dipole direction probing. Many applications with single-molecule sensitivity, such as material and bio-imaging, surface reactivity and electrochemical reactions, and structure order/disorder/defects investigations, can benefit from it. In this seminar I will give a brief introduction of those related techniques and corresponding applications.
