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

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

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

Quantum teleportation chips for quantum networks

  Research Group: Semiconductor Photonics and Quantum Technologies
Quantum teleportation is the key physical mechanism for quantum information transfer. Because the “no-cloning theorem” prevents quantum states from being copied, we cannot use classical methods like amplification and reshaping for quantum signals. Read more

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

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

EASTBIO: Mechanisms regulating the protein composition of astrocyte endfeet

Astrocytes are exceptionally branched cells that tile the brain to maintain its homeostasis1-3. Astrocytes are strategically positioned as a bridge between the brain vasculature and parenchyma4, exhibiting specialised subcellular compartments that interact with distinct brain components5. Read more
