Research project funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders to investigate the mechanisms of predictive processing in the auditory thalamocortical circuit using advanced behavioral and physiological methods.
Description
This project aims to understand how sensory-motor predictions are implemented mechanistically across multiple interacting brain regions, focusing on the role of the auditory second-order thalamus in shaping predictive processing throughout the auditory cortex. The research involves behavioral, physiological, and computational techniques, using transgenic mice and wireless recording technology to study circuit mechanisms underlying predictive processing.
