Colourful predictions? Unraveling the resolution and neural mechanisms of colour expectation

Project description

Understanding the neural mechanisms of colour expectation

When performing everyday actions, the human visual system constantly builds expectations to predict and rapidly react to upcoming events. However, whether these expectations present a clear picture of the anticipated visual input or just a rough sketch remains completely unknown. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the COLOUR project will investigate where and when colour expectations are formed in the brain and if they are in full colour or comprising only a few basic hues. The project will combine electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography with anatomical brain scans and advanced computational decoding to track cortical colour expectations with high spatiotemporal precision.
