Unlike traditional theories of visual perception, recent evidence suggests what a person expects can fundamentally change how they see the world. However, the neuronal mechanisms which would allow expectation to affect perception are poorly understood. This project will use revolutionary recording techniques to determine how multiple brain regions interact to use predictions about the future to change visual processing. The expected outcome is understanding a fundamental theory of brain function for the first time at the level of single neurons. This project will contribute to a new understanding of central theories of how the brain allows us to see which will significantly enhance basic vision science.

与传统的视觉感知理论不同，最近的证据表明，一个人的期望可以从根本上改变他们看待世界的方式。然而，让期望影响感知的神经元机制却知之甚少。这个项目将使用革命性的记录技术来确定多个大脑区域是如何相互作用的，从而利用对未来的预测来改变视觉处理。预期的结果是第一次在单个神经元的水平上理解大脑功能的基本理论。这个项目将有助于对大脑如何让我们看到东西的核心理论有一个新的理解，这将大大提高基础视觉科学。
