This inter-disciplinary project spans behavioural sciences, neurophysiology and computational neuroscience. It investigates fundamental questions such as how different aspects of stimuli are presented in sensory areas of the brain and how the animal interprets the neuronal activity in such areas to generate the relevant behaviour. A major problem with making prosthetic sensory devices is the way by which these devices can communicate with the brain. Research into the coding of different features of simple stimuli will provide basic knowledge which can be implemented in prosthetic sensory devices.

这个跨学科的项目涵盖了行为科学，神经生理学和计算神经科学。它研究了一些基本问题，例如刺激的不同方面如何在大脑的感觉区域中呈现，以及动物如何解释这些区域中的神经元活动以产生相关行为。制造人工感觉装置的一个主要问题是这些装置与大脑沟通的方式。对简单刺激的不同特征的编码的研究将提供可以在假肢感觉装置中实施的基本知识。
