Imaging neural gain control in the human visual system (HVGC)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mars 2016,

"Gain control is a canonical neural computation that is found across the brain. Almost all models of neuronal gain propose that the activity of each neuron is normalized by the combined activity of its neighbouring neurons – a so-called ‘gain pool’. Information in the visual pathways undergoes several such normalization stages beginning in the retina and continuing through visual cortex. Gain cont ...

Investigating Speech Processing in Realistic Environments (INSPIRE)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,

In everyday life, people listen to speech under a wide range of conditions that are “non-optimal” relative to the controlled conditions in laboratory experiments. Classical research methods can only deal with the effects of individual “adverse” conditions. This has contributed to the fragmentation of speech communication research in numerous sub-disciplines that have little interaction. While each ...
