SUMMARY:An Uncommon Place: Shaping the UC Santa Cruz Campus
DESCRIPTION:As part of UCSC’s 50th Anniversary celebration\nAn Uncommon Place: Shaping the UC Santa Cruz Campus\nExhibition Dates: Friday\, September 18\, 2015 – Sunday\, October 25\, 2015\n \nPublic reception at the Smith Gallery at Cowell College:\nFriday\, September 18\, 5:00pm-7:00pm \nCurated by Emeriti Professors James Clifford\, Michael Cowan\, Virginia Jansen\, and Emeritus Campus Architect Frank Zwart. \nAll events are FREE \nThe exhibition\, originally presented last spring at the Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery at Porter College\, traces the decisive moments in the early creation of UC Santa Cruz’s built environment. \nEveryone agrees that the UC Santa Cruz campus is breathtaking. How was it created? An Uncommon Place traces decisive moments in the site’s early development. Here an innovative educational project engaged with a beautiful and challenging environment. The university took shape among steep ravines and dramatic trees in a way that respected as it transformed the landscape. Using architectural plans\, photographs\, and oral histories\, the exhibition illustrates paths taken and not taken-decisions\, constraints\, and hopes. It celebrates the achievement of UCSC’s founding planners while analyzing the tensions and contradictions that were built into their project. Through its many subsequent transformations\, the UC Santa Cruz campus remains an extraordinary work of environmental art. \nRemembering these formative years can perhaps help us renew a powerful utopian experiment. At UC Santa Cruz\, architecture and environment still conspire to create an uncommon place\, a setting for teaching\, research and imagination outside the bounds of the ordinary. \nSponsored by UCSC Alumni Association; Divisions of the Arts\, Humanities\, Physical and Biological Sciences\, Social Sciences; Colleges: Cowell\, Eight\, Kresge\, Oakes\, Porter\, and Stevenson; McHenry Library Special Collections & Archives; and University Relations. \n\n  \nEloise Pickard Smith Gallery Hours: \nTuesday – Sunday\, 11:00am to 4:00pm (Exhibition Dates: September 18 – October 25) \nThe gallery is wheelchair accessible and admission is free. Group tours are available by appointment (831) 459-3606. Please visit our website http://art.ucsc.edu/galleries/uncommon-place

SUMMARY:Keith Johnson: "Adventures in Phonetic Neuroscience"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In studying linguistic knowledge and the cognitive processing that uses this knowledge\, linguists and psycholinguists have looked for ways to find out what is cognitively “real” that underlies the patterns found in language and linguistic behavior.  We are generally faced with the problem of being on the outside looking in. Each method of acquiring data from people as they speak and listen (elicitation of forms\, recording of corpora\, recording behavioral responses in experiments) contributes to a more sophisticated understanding of linguistic knowledge and processing. \nIn this talk I will present some results from recent investigations in phonetic neuroscience.  The data come from recordings from a dense grid of electrodes placed directly on the surface of the brain in patients who were undergoing surgery for epilepsy.  These neural imaging data have fine resolution in both time and frequency and have low enough noise that a relatively few trials is needed in order to find rich phonetic information.  In the first of the three studies that I will describe\, we found that during speaking the motor cortex shows patterns of activity that group sounds by articulator – labials are similar to other labials\, dorsals are similar to other dorsals\, etc (Bouchard et al.\, 2013\, Nature 495\, 327-332).  In the second study\, we found that during listening the superior temporal gyrus shows patterns of activity that group sounds by manner of articulation – stops are similar to stops\, fricatives to fricatives\, etc. (Mesgarani et al.\, 2014\, Science 1006-1010).  The third study examines a pattern of activity in the motor areas of the cortex that appears during listening.  This pattern has been noted by prior researchers who have speculated that motor activity during speech perception suggests the activity of mirror neurons and perhaps that the motor theory of speech perception is supported.  Our data complicate this interpretation because we are able to decode the phonetic information in the motor area during perception and what we find is surprising.  The pattern of activity is like the pattern found by Mesgarani et al. in STG – sounds are grouped with each other by manner of articulation\, not by articulator.  I’ll discuss the implications of this finding\, and the broader implications of neuroscience for linguistics.\n  \nKeith Johnson is a linguist and a phonetician at the University of California\, Berkeley. He also serves as the Director of the UC Berkeley Phonology Lab.
