The integration among specialized
brain areas plays an important role in high-level cognitive
functions.
In this research project, I want
to investigate how visual perception, recognition, and
consciousness are achieved by the integration across different
areas in primate brains.
To this end, I will take a combined
approach including fMRI in humans and monkeys, microelectrode
recordings in monkeys, and modeling of effective connectivity.
