Hallucinations from overweighting of perceptual priors

Organization
Computational Neuroscience @ ATI
Abstract
The thesis studies the top-down cognitive processes on perception and prediction by creating a uniformly gray world where the study subject must look around in order to spot tiny critters moving around. The aim is to induce the perception of stimuli even when none actually exist. It's also important to track the users movement and responses in VR.
