Descripción del proyecto
Object recognition is essential to our interaction with the external world. Our brain is able to effortlessly identify objects even under the highly dynamic conditions of natural vision. This is a remarkable achievement of our visual system. Nevertheless, how the brain creates invariant object representations in the perceptual/visual domain remains elusive. In this project, I will combine novel large-scale electrophysiological recordings and advanced behavioral methods to investigate the neural information processing in higher cortical areas during object recognition. Firstly, I will investigate how cortical representations of visual stimuli progressively evolve across the cortical hierarchy to incorporate semantic information. For this, I will use simultaneous large-scale recordings with Neuropixels probes in mice engaged in a visual discrimination task. Secondly, I will characterize the selectivity of the neuronal populations in each cortical area. Here, I will take a deep-learning approach to model the neural responses of single cells to optimal stimuli. Finally, sophisticated statistical modelling and analysis techniques will be used to resolve how dynamic inter-areal interactions shape the neural representations of visual stimuli. Collectively, these objectives are an unprecedented attempt to disentangle the roles of different higher cortical areas in object recognition. This is fundamental towards enhancing our understanding of how the brain solves perceptual inference. Moreover the multidisciplinary nature of this project will provide a holistic understanding of natural vision during ethologically relevant behaviors. My findings will also motivate new artificial vision algorithms with improved object recognition capabilities under highly dynamic visual conditions. Particularly, the use in assistive devices for blind people will have major social impacts by improving their mobility, quality of life and reducing their dependency on the society.
