Understanding the neural dynamics of integrated perceptual decisions

这个项目旨在研究知觉决策中涉及的大脑过程。虽然科学家们对人们如何对个人感觉输入的属性做出决定有很好的了解，但对大脑如何整合多个感觉来源的信息知之甚少，这些信息在显着性和保真度方面有所不同。该项目希望通过结合大脑成像和行为测量、计算建模和实时神经反馈来阐明负责这些综合感知决策的神经机制。这将大大有助于制定更有效的办法，对依赖最佳决策技能的专业人员进行培训。

This project aims to characterise the brain processes involved in perceptual decision-making. While scientists have a good understanding of how people make decisions about the properties of individual sensory inputs, much less is known about how the brain integrates information across multiple sensory sources that differ in their salience and fidelity. The project expects to elucidate the neural mechanisms responsible for these integrative perceptual decisions, using a combination of brain imaging and behavioural measures, computational modelling and real-time neurofeedback. This should provide significant benefits for developing more effective approaches to training individuals in professions that rely on optimal decision-making skills.
