Neural computations for predictive coding in visual cortex [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr HsinHao Yu (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Adam Morris ,  Prof Jochen Triesch ,  Prof Marcello Rosa

Brief description The project aims to use the principle of 'predictive coding' - a theory that promises to be a unified theory of the brain - to understand how the visual cortex makes predictions about future events, at cellular level. This basic knowledge will not only shed light on how the cerebral cortex functions at the cellular level, but may also clarify the neuronal basis of mental conditions such as schizophrenia and autism.
