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，一个人期望的是什么可以从根本上改变他们看待世界的方式。但是，对影响感知的期望的神经元机制知之甚少。该项目将使用革命性的记录技术来确定多个大脑区域如何相互作用以利用有关未来的预测来改变视觉处理。预期的结果是在单个神经元的水平上首次了解大脑功能的基本理论。该项目将有助于对中心理论的新理解，即大脑如何使我们看到哪些将显着增强基本视觉科学。
