Artificial Intelligence Can Now Predict Students’ Educational Outcomes Based on Their VK Posts and Tweets
The new model, created by computational social scientist Ivan Smirnov of HSE University, predicts the academic success of Russian high school students with an accuracy of 94%. The model generates its predictions based on users’ distinctive vocabulary and speech patterns, and the predictions have strongly correlated with students’ Unified State Exam (USE) scores.

Research Only: How Academic Tourism Went Online and Why Scholars Like It
On October 23 – 24, 2020, the IX International Moscow Finance Conference will take place. The event has been organized jointly by ICEF and the London School of Economics. This year, the list of participants includes the editors of the two biggest journals in economics. Alexei Boulatov , Tenured Professor of HSE University, spoke about how the online format influenced the quality of academic events, what has changed in academic life over the last few months, and the topics that interest researchers today.

Gender Asymmetry Affects Labour Market
According to Natalia Tikhonova, a social scientist with HSE University, gender asymmetry has been on the rise in Russia's labour market over the past 20 years. Gender asymmetry is reflected in the ‘feminisation’ of white-collar jobs and a disproportionate number of men among blue-collar workers. In addition to this, increasing automation in traditionally male industrial sectors is leading to fewer jobs available to men. In contrast, occupations with a growing demand for skills tend to be those which are mainly filled by women.

Working paper

fMRI correlates of the word frequency effect in Russian.

Humanities. HUM. Basic Research Programme, 2013. No. 2.
Vlasova R.M., Pechenkova E., Sinitsyn V.
The results of the previous fMRI study of word frequency effect in Russian contradicts with the results obtained in fMRI studies of English speakers. Two reasons for such inconsistency may be either task specificity (verb related task vs noun related task (tasks involving verbs vs. task involving nouns) or cross-linguistic differences. The purpose of this study was to examine fMRI correlates of word frequency in Russian using object naming task. We have found that several brain regions were more activated by retrieval of low frequency than high frequency words: fusiform gyrus, inferior occipital gyrus, middle occipital gyrus, supplementary motor area, inferior frontal gyrus bilaterally, left thalamus, left insula, right cingulate gyrus. At the same time we revealed no brain areas responding more to high frequency than low frequency words. These results are consistent with the previous fMRI studies in English. The present results also indicate the possible role of parts of speech as well as possible interactions of task and word frequency in brain mechanisms for word retrieval.

Структурно-функциональная организация использования глаголов и существительных в зависимости от стратегии их актуализации
Власова Р. М., Печенкова Е. В., Ахутина Т. В. и др. Вопросы психологии. 2012. № 4. С. 128-138.

The study of cerebral organization of usage of verbs and nouns was carried out by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging. The influence of strategy of word actualization (verbs and nouns extraction on paradigmatic and syntagmatic connections) and the level of automation of these processes on the pattern of cerebral cortex activation was shown.

Non-fluency represented in cerebrocerevellar network: an fMRI study of overt action naming in non-fluent aphasia
Dragoy O., Malyutina S., Ivanova M. et al. In bk.: International Symposium on Functional Neuroimaging: Basic Research and Clinical Applications. Abstracts. MSUPE, 2012. P. 36-38.

Key characteristics of non-fluent (Broca, motor) aphasia are, among others, verb finding difficulties and effortful speech output. These characteristics are related to different levels of speech production (lexical retrieval and motor execution). This study was aimed at identifying normative brain activation related to verb production in healthy individuals, as well as patterns of its reorganization depending on the locus of the linguistic deficit in patients with non-fluent aphasia.

ФМРТ-исследование функциональных связей головного мозга в задаче категоризации эмоциональных и нейтральных лиц
Королькова О. А., Печенкова Е. В., Синицын В. Е. В кн.: Когнитивная наука в Москве: новые исследования. Материалы конференции 15 июня 2017 г.. Буки Веди, 2017. С. 174-179.

We analyzed brain functional connectivity using data from a task-based fMRI study of explicit categorization of neutral and emotional faces. During the perception of emotional faces, the correlation of BOLD signal in the right posterior superior temporal sulcus (STS) with other regions of the core face system increased, as compared to neutral faces. Conversely, during the perception of neutral faces, we found an increased correlation of STS and other core face system regions with brain areas outside the core system. The functional connectivity of STS shows lateralization due to the presence or absence of emotional expression. The obtained results support the key role of STS in facial expression recognition.

Neural correlates of personally familiar faces: Parents, partner and own faces
Human Brain Mapping. 2009. Vol. 30. No. 7. P. 2009-2020.

Investigations of the neural correlates of face recognition have typically used old/new paradigms where subjects learn to recognize new faces or identify famous faces. Familiar faces, however, include one's own face, partner's and parents' faces. Using event-related fMRI, we examined the neural correlates of these personally familiar faces. Ten participants were presented with photographs of own, partner, parents, famous and unfamiliar faces and responded to a distinct target. Whole brain, two regions of interest (fusiform gyrus and cingulate gyrus), and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. Compared with baseline, all familiar faces activated the fusiform gyrus; own faces also activated occipital regions and the precuneus; partner faces activated similar areas, but in addition, the parahippocampal gyrus, middle superior temporal gyri and middle frontal gyrus. Compared with unfamiliar faces, only personally familiar faces activated the cingulate gyrus and the extent of activation varied with face category. Partner faces also activated the insula, amygdala and thalamus. Regions of interest analyses and laterality indices showed anatomical distinctions of processing the personally familiar faces within the fusiform and cingulate gyri. Famous faces were right lateralized whereas personally familiar faces, particularly partner and own faces, elicited bilateral activations. Regression analyses show experiential predictors modulated with neural activity related to own and partner faces. Thus, personally familiar faces activated the core visual areas and extended frontal regions, related to semantic and person knowledge and the extent and areas of activation varied with face type.

In Search of the New "Turns": History and Theory in the 21 st century
Savelieva I. M. Humanities. HUM. Basic Research Programme, 2011. No. 02.
This study researches some of the most recent theories (elaborated by historians and social scientists) applied to the practice of historical research. The object of this research includes ideas, concepts, notions, methods of scholarly analysis of past social reality, as well as the emergence of new interdisciplinary fields, mutual borrowings and interventions. In this connection, the opposite process — the historization of some very disparate disciplinary discourses — is briefly addressed. It includes especially historical aspects of anthropology and sociology in the coming century. The research is based on information from journals specialized in history and theory, on leading history journals which demonstrate the state of art in various research areas, on sociological journals publishing material on historical sociology and on monographs from 1995—2010.
