This project aims to study how the brain processes images. Basic features of objects in the visual scene seem to be coded on the visual cortex in an orderly way. By recording neurones’ electrical activity in a mammalian brain, this project aims to study how such organisation is determined at the neuronal level, namely how the individual nerves and synapses that form the brain and process the signals are organised to form the overall functional architecture visible at a macroscopic level. This understanding could realise the basis of normal visual perception in robotic vision and brain-machine interfaces.

该项目旨在研究大脑如何处理图像。视觉场景中物体的基本特征似乎以有序的方式编码在视觉皮层上。透过记录哺乳动物脑内神经元的电活动，本项目旨在研究在神经元层面上如何决定这种组织，即如何组织形成大脑和处理信号的单个神经和突触，以形成宏观层面可见的整体功能结构。这种理解可以实现机器人视觉和脑机接口中正常视觉感知的基础。
