New publications and new faces

The Muckli lab has published three new papers. They offer a unified account on the function of the brain’s top-down pathways in Trends in Neurosciences. Using functional brain imaging, they show that when the brain is presented with scene images, top-down processes in visual cortex can be described by line drawings of scenes, this finding is published in the Journal of Neuroscience.
Featured in the Journal of Neuroscience Methods, they have used data from more than 200 subjects watching movies to perform a full brain fMRI decoding (42k voxels), transferring information from deep learning (DL) features to brain fMRI data; this technique can be adopted in future experiments investigating visual decoding and encoding in the brain.
The lab have also welcomed three new postdocs; Dr Clement Abbatecola, Dr Min Susan Li and Dr Pauliina Sorvisto, bringing expertise on cortical anatomy, computational modelling and human brain imaging. We are all excited to have them onboard.
