Perceptual consequences and the neural basis for integrating social information into perceptual decision-making (A01)

Subject Area Cognitive, Systems and Behavioural Neurobiology
Term since 2022
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 454648639
 

Project Description

Little is known about how the brain processes visual information about the choices and actions of others, and how this processed information is used to guide interactions with others. We will use the newly developed Dyadic Interaction Platform to investigate the neural circuits responsible for integrating sensory information about visual stimuli and their behavioural relevance with information about what others know (and do) about the same stimuli. These studies are an important step towards understanding how social context modulates perceptual experience and decision-making.
