Topographic and laminar connectivity brain mapping between visual areas

The goal of the project is to explore the information processing mechanisms of brain in conjunction with state-of-the-art imaging and anatomy techniques. Understanding how the information is processed and coded in the brain is intended to serve research of disease diagnosis and treatment. The brain can be divided into different regions according to their functions. Before constructing the encoding model, we need to track the information transmission in a specific function area, which rely on higher spatial resolution data. Vision is one of the most studied projects in in cognitive neuroscience. In this research, we will use many previous visual research results and the latest experimental data to explore the information processing mechanism between the visual areas. TO BE CONT’D
