DESCRIPTION:\n \nDate and time: Tuesday, January 28th, 2025 – 9:30 to 11:00 CET\nLocation:  Virtual on Zoom and on-site at Campus Biotech Geneva – Room H8-01-D\nProgram\n09:30 – 10:30 When Wonder Paves your Scientific Journey\n10:30 – 11:00 CIBM news and networking\n\n \nSolange Denervaud,\nCIBM Flagship Project Officer\nAbstract\nFrom observing children evolving in classrooms to leading the coordination of the CIBM TESSERACT Initiative, this talk explores how wonder has shaped my scientific journey and ignited an unprecedented initiative centered on investigating curiosity, creativity, and cooperation in schoolchildren.\nFirst, drawing on over a decade of research, I will delve into how school environments influence the developing brain to foster creativity, adaptability, and resilience. It highlights three key mechanisms driving this process: (i) error-monitoring abilities, which underpin self-regulation and innovation; (ii) social dynamics, which enrich cognitive flexibility and shared meaning-making; and (iii) alignment with developmental trajectories, ensuring that educational approaches nurture rather than hinder potential. These insights have established fertile ground for ambitious inquiries into the nature of human potential, raising profound questions that demand a collective and interdisciplinary effort.\nSecond, I will briefly introduce the CIBM TESSERACT Initiative, which aims to be transformative by integrating cutting-edge tools and analytical framework development thanks to shared expertise and multidisciplinary knowledge. Its mission is to advance our understanding of how curiosity, creativity, and cooperation develop in children while encouraging scientists to embody these same principles. The challenge is to move beyond the constraints of focusing solely on isolated organs toward understanding brain-body dynamics, beyond examining individuals in isolation toward embracing collective, real-time imaging measures, and beyond the confines of a single discipline to harness the power of diverse perspectives.\nIn sum, by fostering wonder, we unlock the mysteries of the developing mind and inspire a deeper appreciation of the interconnectedness of life processes.\n.\nAbout the Speaker\nSolange earned her BSc and MSc in Bioengineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) in 2013. She completed her PhD in Neuroscience at the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV-UNIL) in collaboration with the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences (CISA-UNIGE) from 2014 to 2020, focusing on bridging neuroscience and education. This interdisciplinary interest stems from her initial training as a Montessori school teacher (2003–2007), where she developed a passion for understanding the impact of learning environments on cognitive development. Her research investigates how educational settings influence the development of core adaptive mechanisms, including error monitoring, cognitive flexibility, creativity, and peer-to-peer learning, in school-aged children and teenagers. She employs a multidisciplinary approach combining psychophysics, neuropsychology, electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).\nSince October 2023, Solange has been the CIBM Flagship Project Officer, a pioneering research initiative to explore the development of curiosity, creativity, and cooperation throughout the school years. Her role involves uniting the diverse expertise and advanced techniques of CIBM to innovate and refine biomedical tools and methodologies, driving new insights into these fundamental aspects of learning and development.\nSeminar Chair\n\nDimitri Van De Ville\nHead of CIBM SP EPFL UNIGE Section\nClick here to learn about Dimitri ( https://cibm.ch/community/dimitri-van-de-ville/ )\nJOIN US ON SITE!\n\nIf attending on-site, the event is for free but REGISTRATION IS MANDATORY.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nJOIN US REMOTELY\nTo join us remotely please,  register at the following Zoom link:\nhttps://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5YrdOqsqzspE9GVL3C1vLDuWfU86GLAR7EH\nWe look forward to seeing you there.\n\n
