The organisation of the sensory world into semantic categories and more abstract concepts is fundamental to cognition. These processes place high cognitive demands on a species and can be studied only in very few animal models. Corvid birds are such a model. Here, I propose to study category learning in corvids using modern multisite neurophysiology. The aim of the project is to understand interaction of multiple structures and their respective plastic contributions at different levels of abstraction.

将感官世界组织成语义范畴和更抽象的概念是认知的基础。这些过程对一个物种提出了很高的认知要求，只能在很少的动物模型中进行研究。乌鸦就是这样一种模式。在这里，我建议使用现代多位点神经生理学来研究鸦类的类别学习。该项目的目的是了解多个结构的相互作用及其在不同抽象层次上各自的塑性贡献。
