DATE & TIME	EVENT, LOCATION AND CONTACT INFORMATION
Feb 5, 2005 10:00 a.m.	Arnold Pfeffer Center for Neuro-Psychoanalysis at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute, Neuro-Psychoanalysis Lecture Series Jeremy R. Gray, Ph. D. Yale University Department of Psychology Integration of Affect and Cognitive Control Discussant: Mark Solms, Ph.D. (Director, Neuro-Psychoanalysis Center) Emotion is easily typecast as the nemesis of self control. However, recent advances suggest a more nuanced view, in which emotion and cognitive control are integrated, at times working in harmony. Emotional states can enhance high-level cognition, and can modulate the neural mechanisms that support cognitive control. Such an integrated neural organization might be adaptive: Emotional states could help resolve control dilemmas, facilitating the transition of the whole system into a more unified, situationally appropriate control state. This perspective is intriguing because control dilemmas are pervasive in human affairs (e.g., balancing risk vs. reward, short-term vs. long-term effects, and personal advantage vs. group advantage). Although many challenging questions remain, understanding emotion-cognition interactions at multiple levels of analysis is a realistic and exciting scientific goal.
