Converting colour memory to a spatial format to benefit behaviour

This project explores how the brain transforms visual information, like colour, into spatial formats when storing it in memory. Using functional MRI (fMRI), we will study how these transformations happen and which brain areas are involved. This research builds on previous studies using EEG, but fMRI will provide a clearer picture of the brain regions responsible for these changes. The findings could improve our understanding of how memory adapts to task demands and may have applications in neurorehabilitation and brain-computer interfaces. The collaboration between the University of Toronto and the Ernst Stru¨ngmann Institute will strengthen international research connections, enhance expertise in neuroimaging, and provide valuable hands-on training in advanced fMRI analysis.
