Hosted by the Wellcome Neural Dynamics PhD Programme
Life is a series of action choices. One can ignore external events or react to them. I will discuss two projects that show cortical gamma synchronization during rapid evaluation of external events and adjustment of an ongoing action. Our behavioural task is simple, but can be used as a powerful tool to understand how neural activity is coordinated within cortico-subcortical circuits to produce fundamental components of flexible behaviour. I will discuss the implications of brief periods of neural synchronization for coordination of neural activity and ideas for future projects.
The talk will be followd by post-seminar tea and coffee.
