We also work on developing imaging techniques with improved spatial and temporal resolutions. In complex organisms the brain has evolved to subserve this overriding demand through the creation, maintenance, and manipulation of stable representations of the external world and their own body. The stability emerges somehow from the everchanging neuronal network activity. In the case of humans it is so robust and refined to allow for the impression of external world shared with others and a private self-image. The main, but not exclusive experimental model is monkey visual and auditory association cortices.
Results relate to basic elements of functional and cognitive architectures.
They interface with and bridge molecular, cellular, and cognitive investigations.
