Active dendrites and cortical associations (ActiveCortex)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Converging studies from psychophysics in humans to single-cell recordings in monkeys and rodents indicate that most important cognitive processes depend on both feed-forward and feedback information interacting in the brain. Intriguingly, feedback to early cortical processing stages appears to play a causal role in these processes. Despite the central nature of this fact to understanding brain cog ...

Focus alternatives in the human mind: Retrieval, representation, and recall (FAHMRRR)

Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2020,

The sentences: “I have written a proposal for the ERC” and “It is for the ERC that I have written a proposal” mean the same, but they have a different focus structure. A focused element like “It is for the ERC” indicates that alternatives are relevant for the interpretation of the utterance. Hence, the sentence expresses, in addition to its literal content, that the proposal is not for the NSF or ...
