Successful navigation requires the integration of incoming sensory information with internallygenerated representations of self-location. Research has predominantly focused on themeans by which visual stimuli update the hippocampal spatial memory system. However,despite the known importance of visual inputs for navigation and recent experimentalevidence showing that the activity in visual cortex is modulated by spatial information(Saleem et al 2018), the neural processes involved in visual perception and navigation havelargely been studied in isolation The goal of this project is to use experimental andcomputational techniques to explore the bidirectional communication linking visuo-spatialprocessing in the brain.

成功的导航需要将传入的感官信息与内部生成的自我定位表示相结合。研究主要集中在视觉刺激更新海马体空间记忆系统的方法上。然而，尽管视觉输入对导航的重要性是众所周知的，而且最近的实验证据表明，视觉皮层的活动是由空间信息调节的（Saleem et al 2018），但涉及视觉感知和导航的神经过程在很大程度上是单独研究的。本项目的目标是使用实验和计算技术来探索大脑中连接视觉-空间处理的双向通信。
