Using artificial intelligence to reveal the computational principles of neural competition

Information in the brain is represented through distributed patterns of activity across populations of neurons. Simultaneously active representations can overlap and compete, a basic principle of neural information processing whose relationship to representational structure remains poorly understood. Read more

Investigating the role of brain-body interactions in conscious awareness via central and peripheral electrophysiology

We are all familiar with subjective experience – for example, the experience of enjoying a piece of music. Subjective experience is the essence of culture and of being human, and its absence or reduction has severe consequences for health, social relationships, and quality of life. Read more
