Project description
Stability and continuity of visual magnitude information
A correct perception of magnitude dimensions is necessary to understand the spatial properties of the external world. As magnitude dimensions share similar properties in the perceptual environment, it is believed they share a similar neural mechanism. But while objects and events in the space usually seem stable, neuronal activity is noisy, and biological sensors like the eye are unstable due to continuous movements. It is not clear how information about magnitude is stabilised and whether a generalised stability mechanism exists. The EU-funded NeSt project will investigate the brain processes that ensure the stability and continuity of visual magnitude information. The project will use psychophysical, electroencephalography, and brain stimulation techniques.
