Project to be confirmed after rotation year

感知和认知的预测加工模型认为，大脑通过前馈和反馈过程生成和更新世界的内部模型。超高场7特斯拉（T）功能性磁共振成像（fMRI）的引入为预测处理的实现提供了一个非侵入性的皮层窗口。与此同时，意识意识的计算高阶账户提出，感知-认知层次中的抽象的前额叶表征支持感知意识。这个博士项目追求两种方法的新的跨学科组合，以促进我们对人类意识的神经和计算基础的理解。

Predictive processing models of perception and cognition hold that the brain generatesand updates an internal model of the world through feedforward and feedbackprocesses. The introduction of ultra-high field 7 Tesla (T) functional magneticresonance imaging (fMRI) allows a non-invasive window onto cortical layersunderpinning implementations of predictive processing. In tandem, computationalhigher-order accounts of conscious awareness propose that abstract, prefrontalrepresentations deep in a perceptual-cognitive hierarchy support perceptualawareness. This PhD project pursues a novel interdisciplinary combination of bothapproaches to advance our understanding of the neural and computational basis ofhuman conscious awareness.
