Tracking the Flow of Perceptual Information Through Decision Networks

我们所做的选择决定了我们的生活。尽管神经科学取得了令人兴奋的进展，但我们仍然不知道大脑的内部运作是如何产生简单决定的。该项目汇集了来自计算神经科学不同领域的专家，研究我们的大脑如何将感知信息转化为行动。我们将共同开发新的方法来追踪决策过程中大脑中的信息流。通过这样做，我们将开发一个世界领先的大脑如何做出决定的模型，并为更广泛的科学界提供一套令人兴奋的新工具来研究大脑中的信息处理。

The choices we make define our lives. Despite exciting progress in neuroscience, we still don’t know how the inner workings of the brain give rise to simple decisions. This project brings together experts from diverse domains of computational neuroscience to investigate how our brains turn perceptual information into action. Together, we will develop new methods to track information flow through the brain during the decision making process. By doing so, we will develop a world-leading model of how the brain makes decisions, and also provide the broader scientific community with a set of exciting new tools for studying information processing in the brain.
