Augmented reality

To flexibly navigate environments the brain must continuously update its sense of direction and position through the integration of vision and self-motion cues. Yet, it remains unclear how visual cues update spatial codes throughout the brain. One useful approach to examine this relationship is during reorientation, wherein a conflict between internal and external sense of direction and position is resolved. Recent work has shown that reorientation of head direction representation in the anterior dorsal thalamic nucleus (ADN), which functions as a ring-attractor, occurs at a variable temporal

…The present study used an augmented reality setting to show neutral (deers, birds), generically-fearful (bears) or phobic (spiders) stimuli to 50 more-or-less spiderfearful participants while registering their electroencephalographic, electrocardiographic and electrodermal correlates. Importantly, each stimulus was followed by a trial-by-trial check of its detection, allowing to distinguish perceptually-subliminal stimuli (i.e., what is usually intended as "sublimi

The role of the interface between internal and external factors which shape an agent's experience have been considered for millennia. In the 21st century, we have access to new technologies and ideas, but what are the breakthroughs we need that will afford new discoveries? Similarly, what disciplinary boundaries are appropriate as opposed to inhibitory; how much does neuroscience overlap with or have functional or explanatory distinctness from psychology, or other disciplines within the original umbrella of the Cognitive Science project? These questions drive our work in methods for cognition

…software for the display of virtual or augmented reality, as well as standard visual stimuli. BonVision has been tested on humans and mice, and is capable of supporting new experimental designs in other animal models of vision. As the architecture is based on the open-source Bonsai graphical program
