Periodic Reporting for period 2 - EXPECTATION (Emerging Visual Expectation in the Brain)
Período documentado: 2020-01-01 hasta 2020-12-31
A new line of research looked at how concurrent visual inputs and visual memories can be represented in the brain. The main conclusions of this project were that (1) Early visual cortex is involved in representing both externally viewed information, as well as internally maintained information. (2) The brain uses multiple cortical regions, and multiple formats, to store remembered information. Early visual areas are involved in a more pictorial manner, while "higher-level" areas represent remembered information in a more abstract manner.
