Cortical topology underlying the representation and analysis of visual scenes

当我们环顾四周时，我们似乎完全、准确和瞬间地感知到了我们的视觉环境。尽管给人留下了强烈的印象，但最近的研究表明，这些都不是真的。使用虚拟环境、大脑成像和神经网络模拟，该项目旨在发现更多关于我们确实看到的东西，我们大脑的哪个部分存储我们看到的东西，以及这种存储是如何发生的。这项工作有可能影响危险标志、远程操作和虚拟显示器以及自动机械的设计。它还应该有助于激励中风患者的新治疗和康复方案。

When we look around us we seem to perceive our visual surroundings fully, accurately and instantaneously. Despite this strong impression, recent research has revealed that none of this is true. Using virtual environments, brain imaging and neural network simulations, this project aims to discover more about what we do see, which part of our brain stores what we see, and how this storage takes place. The work has the potential to influence the design of danger signs, teleoperated and virtual displays and autonomous machines. It should also help motivate new treatments and rehabilitation regimes for stroke victims.
