Neuronal activity and variability underlying perception and action [ 2011 - 2014 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Nicholas Price (Principal investigator)

Brief description Perception and behaviour are often unpredictable. We do not identically perceive repeated stimuli, and even professional athletes cannot precisely replicate their actions. This project compares variations in the activity of motion-sensitive neurons in the brain with variability in motion perception and eye movements. This should give insights into how neuronal activity underlies conscious perception and eye movements and may ultimately help treat conditions with impaired control of movement.
