Freda Newcombe Lecture sponsored by Wiley-Blackwell

• Glyn Humphreys (University of Birmingham), Direct routes in object processing

• When top-down rules brain function. (University of Birmingham), Organised by David Soto (Imperial College London). The symposium will illustrate the remarkable role of top-down factors associated with individual's strategies, rules, expectations and other forms of memory representations, at influencing different brain processes related to attention and the control of action. Speakers include: Michael Anderson (MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit), Xun HeNeil Muggleton (Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience) and Mark Stokes (University of Oxford).
  

• Impulsivity from a transdiagnostic perspective. Organised by Georgina Jackson and Rhiannon Corcoran (University of Nottingham). Impulsivity is a psychological feature of several neuropsychiatric, neurodevelopmental and neurological disorders which can be defined, explored and understood in a number of different ways. This symposium will examine this complex transdiagnostic construct using experiential, experimental and imaging data. Speakers include: Luke Clark (University of Cambridge), Jodie Finalyson-Burden (University of Nottingham), Lee HogarthMasud Husain (Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Institute of Neurology) and Renate Reniers (Institute of Mental Health).
