Topic: multisensory detection

In nature, humans and animals are constantly bombarded with sensory information, which needs to be promptly contextualized to elicit the appropriate motor sequences through a process known as sensorimotor transformation. While we begin to understand how sensory information is transformed into motor action, it is still unclear in what way contextual information can modify a given sensorimotor plan. In this project, we investigate this phenomenon by training water restricted mice in a context-dependent multisensory detection task. We developed a behavioural paradigm in which mice are required to
