Project to be confirmed after rotation year

感知和认知的预测处理模型认为，大脑通过前馈和反馈过程产生和更新世界的内部模型。超高场7特斯拉(T)功能磁共振成像(FMRI)的引入允许非侵入性窗口了解皮质层，从而支持预测处理的实现。同时，有意识意识的计算高级描述提出，在知觉-认知层次深处的抽象的前额叶表征支持知觉意识。这个博士项目追求两种方法的一种新的跨学科组合，以促进我们对人类意识的神经和计算基础的理解。

Predictive processing models of perception and cognition hold that the brain generatesand updates an internal model of the world through feedforward and feedbackprocesses. The introduction of ultra-high field 7 Tesla (T) functional magneticresonance imaging (fMRI) allows a non-invasive window onto cortical layersunderpinning implementations of predictive processing. In tandem, computationalhigher-order accounts of conscious awareness propose that abstract, prefrontalrepresentations deep in a perceptual-cognitive hierarchy support perceptualawareness. This PhD project pursues a novel interdisciplinary combination of bothapproaches to advance our understanding of the neural and computational basis ofhuman conscious awareness.
