Cognitive Science Program presents Measuring understanding and predicting STEM learning outcomes from neural activity Dr. Meir Meshulam Princeton Neuroscience Institute Princeton University How do students understand and remember new information? Measuring and decoding human brain activity during educational experiences offers new ways to address this fundamental question. Today, it is unclear how learners internalize new content, especially in real-life and online settings. In this talk, Dr. Meshulam will demonstrate how neural data can be used to diagnose individual participants’ understanding of specific topics within a broad-ranging, real-world STEM course (Introduction to Computer Science, at Princeton University). This approach hinges on the finding that understanding is mirrored in “neural alignment”: the degree to which an individual learner’s neural representations match those of experts, as well as those of other learners. If time permits, Dr. Meshulam also will discuss ongoing work in which we use recent advances in natural language processing (NLP) to model the learning process and track changes in neural concept representations over the span of the course.

Join us for a dynamic virtual conversation around the themes of responsibility, intensity and creativity This year pushed the world into a new era, drastically and abruptly changing the way we relate and live. With fear of the Other, violence and uncertainty rising, the need to foster a desire to understand those unlike us and to commit to the larger good of the world is intense, indeed. As educators, we are front-line even while on Zoom. How do we respond?Where is creativity exploding in response to the crises, and how do creative modes help us document, cope, protest or engender change?What is our responsibility as educators, and how do shifting intensities direct us to act?How might we intensify our work productively in order to respond?Please join us in this free virtual conference to discuss these and other questions. We are inviting educators across the world who intervene at varying levels. Session formats vary from participatory/workshop mode, to watching a panel or an individual talk, to interview, followed by Q&A.
