Human visual perception: Connecting genes, brain and behaviour

该项目旨在揭示基因，大脑和视觉感知行为之间的关系，其中潜在的大脑活动可以从电信号中解码。现代分子遗传学承诺对人类心理有前所未有的洞见。但进展比预期的要慢，因为将基因与行为联系起来的大脑机制非常复杂。预计项目结果将显示基因的常见变异如何影响我们大脑对视觉刺激的反应，以及这反过来如何改变我们的感知体验和行为反应。这些发现旨在为心智的结构和发展提供新的视角，并为研究其他心理特征的遗传基础提供新的模型。

This project aims to reveal the relationship between genes, brain and behaviour in visual perception, where underlying brain activity can be decoded from electrical signals. Modern molecular genetics promises unprecedented insights into human psychology. But progress has been slower than expected because the brain mechanisms linking genes to behaviours are incredibly complex. Project results are expected to show how common variations in genes affect our brain's response to visual stimulation, and how this in turn alters our perceptual experience and behavioural reactions. These discoveries aim to cast new light on the architecture and development of the mind, and provide a new model for investigating the genetic basis of other psychological traits.
