Fast 3D imaging and re-activation of neuronal networks, dendrites, and spines in several
cubic millimeter volumes during visual learning to understand visual representation
Our long-term aim is to assess the feasibility of creating an “artificial sense” and,
thereby, a possible sensory (visual) prosthetic. While working towards this goal,
we are investigating how neural assembly activity relates to subjective perceptions.
Recording, finding and understanding these functional assemblies will make it possible
to reactivate them in a precise, biologically relevant manner to elicit cortical activation
similar to visual stimulation.
