Probing the internal world model of the brain
Organization
Computational Neuroscience @ ATI
Abstract
The thesis studies the internal world model of the brain by putting subjects in a VR environment consisting of visual white noise. The task of the subject is to report the exact moment when they start perceiving a generic environment from the noise. The environment fades in and fades out - the aim is to find the upper and lower bounds of such perception. We expect strong top down effects to occur, meaning that subject might perceive complex scenes even when none is presented.
