EASTBIO: How does the visual cortex distinguish self-generated and externally-generated visual motion?

University of Edinburgh
School of Neurological and Cardiovascular Sciences (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)
Distinguishing self-generated from externally generated sensory input is crucial for guiding behaviour [1]. This ability is thought to be impaired in conditions such as schizophrenia, where sensory disturbances may arise from a failure to correctly attribute sensory input to its self-generated causes.

EASTBIO: Linking the computations underlying learning, flexibility and perception

University of Edinburgh
School of Neurological and Cardiovascular Sciences (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)
Almost everything we know about how animals learn comes from one task at a time, in different animals. So a basic question is unanswered. Read more

EASTBIO: Sense & Sensibility: How does the brain filter sensory experience?

University of Edinburgh
School of Neurological and Cardiovascular Sciences (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)
Neuronal circuits adapt in response to experience, strengthening or weakening their connections through synaptic plasticity. Yet a fundamental question remains. Read more

EASTBIO: Determining the neural code and network computations supporting episodic memory

University of Edinburgh
School of Neurological and Cardiovascular Sciences (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)
A memory of an experience is carried by a pattern of electrical activity across thousands of neurons. This project asks what the crucial elements of this 'neural code' are, and how the networks involved generate it. Read more
