The activity of individual sensory neurons in the brain is surprisingly variable and continuously changing. It is unclear how reliable perception of the world can be generated from the activity of “noisy” neurons, and it remains unclear why neuronal sensitivity should change in the first place! This project will give insights into how groups of sensory neurons collectively overcome their intrinsic variability to support reliable visual perception.

大脑中单个感觉神经元的活动是惊人的多变和不断变化的。目前尚不清楚“嘈杂”神经元的活动如何产生对世界的可靠感知，也不清楚为什么神经元的敏感性首先会发生变化！该项目将深入了解感觉神经元如何集体克服其内在变异性以支持可靠的视觉感知。
