The influence of naturalistic context on visual short-term memory

这个项目的目的是通过结合行为和大脑数据来理解自然视觉环境中的视觉短期记忆。视觉短时记忆被认为是学习和解决问题等复杂认知任务的关键，但低水平的图像背景和高水平的语义信息如何影响短期记忆却知之甚少。这个项目将使用先进的计算图像处理工具、神经成像和心理物理实验来提供对自然图像中短期记忆的全面分析。预期的结果是更好地理解限制短期记忆的神经瓶颈，并建立一个预测自然视觉环境中记忆限制的模型。

This project aims to understand visual short-term memory in natural visual environments using a combination of behavioural and brain data. Visual short-term memory is thought to be critical to complex cognitive tasks such as learning and problem solving, but how low-level image context and high-level semantic information influence short-term memory is poorly understood. This project will use advanced computational image processing tools, neuro-imaging, and psychophysical experiments to provide a comprehensive analysis of short-term memory in naturalistic images. The expected outcome is a better understanding of the neural bottlenecks that limit short-term memory, and a model that predicts memory constraints in natural visual environments.
