Chair/Discussion (15 min per paper): Please follow this structure: 1. What is the question of the paper (possible hypotheses stated)? 2. What has been done? What behavioral protocol is used (important! Without understanding the task of the subjects, we cannot understand the corresponding data). What measurements were done (e.g. behavioral measurements such as reaction time or correct responses; single-neuron activity; blood flow; behavior after lesions; ) 3. What are the (main) findings? Focus on the one or two main findings (don t discuss every little data detail!). Find the one or two most telling figures (usually at the beginning/middle part of the paper). Interpret the figures: what are the parameters, what does the graph show, what does it tell us? 4. What do we make of the study (judging)? What have we learned? How convincing are the data? What are the conclusions that can be drawn?
