Neural Mechanisms of Optimal Sensory Integration

这个项目检查了脑细胞用来结合两种类型的感觉信息的计算类型，这种方式允许我们在日常生活中做出更好的决定。为了解决这个普遍的问题，我们将进行实验，探索来自视觉和听觉的信号的组合。组合感觉信息的能力对我们的精神健康至关重要，这一过程在一系列心理、精神和神经障碍中受到影响。

This project examines the types of computations used by brain cells to combine two types of sensory information, in a way that allow us to reach better decisions in everyday life. To address this general problem, we will perform experiments that explore the combination of signals from vision and hearing. The ability to combine sensory information is vital to our mental health, and this process is compromised in a range of psychological, psychiatric and neurological disorders.
