We found a previously unknown form of homeostatic synaptic plasticity in multisensory neurons in the optic tectum of Xenopus laevis tadpoles. Individual tectal neurons are known to receive converging ...

The formation and persistence of negative pain-related expectations by classical conditioning remain incompletely understood. We elucidated behavioural and neural correlates involved in the ...

How are raw sensory signals transformed into a brain representation of the world that surrounds us? Investigators have now uncovered the contributions to perception of a brain region called posterior ...

(Phys.org)—Visual information is dense, and researchers have long theorized that when visual stimuli are confusing or ambiguous, the brain must apply additional contextual information in order to ...

To build a representation of the external world, and give it a coherent sense, our brain needs to process and integrate information coming from all our senses, including vision and hearing. But it ...

Serial dependence is a phenomenon in which current perception is attracted to the immediately preceding perception and is thought to reflect a mechanism for stabilizing perception by integrating ...

Sensory overload occurs when the brain becomes overwhelmed by the volume or nature of the sensory inputs it receives. Sensory inputs can be any stimuli that enter through one of the sensory modalities ...

Technically, there are no prerequisites for this course. In practice, however, if you do not know how to program in Matlab, it will be difficult for you to stay up to speed. If you have not taken an ...
