Cortical layers: examining the role of feedback in human visual perception.

该项目旨在对人类视觉感知背后的神经回路产生详细的机制理解。通过与世界著名的德国马克斯普朗克研究所的国际合作，该项目将利用强大的新工具来测量人类大脑皮层的活动，以测试人类视觉的主要理论模型。预期的结果有望显著推进我们对人类视觉系统如何将复杂的视觉输入解析为物体和视觉场景的基本理解，这可能为人工视觉系统的发展提供信息。

This project aims to generate a detailed mechanistic understanding of the neural circuitry underlying human visual perception. Through an international collaboration with the world-renowned Max Planck Institute, Germany, the project will exploit powerful new tools to measure human brain activity in cortical layers to test major theoretical models of human vision. The anticipated results are expected to significantly advance our basic understanding of how the human visual system parses complex visual input into objects and visual scenes, which may inform the development of artificial vision systems.
