Multi-variate analysis of resting state activity and visually evoked response to natural stimuli to map the representation of information in intrinsic brain activity
The interviews will take place on November 18th, 2020 at 12:30 – CET.
Abstract of the Project
This project aims to understand whether multivariate spatial patterns of activity measured with fMRI evoked by natural visual stimuli (e.g. faces, bodies, etc., presented through images or movies) are also represented in multi-variate spatial patterns of resting-state activity. Previous work has shown that in object-selective category regions of visual cortex (e.g. FFA), multi-vertex resting state activity patterns correlate more strongly, and more frequently, with category selective multi-vertex evoked activity patterns for the specific category (e.g. faces) as compared to other categories (e.g. bodies) (Kim et al.
