Recently, Dr. He Tao, a full-time researcher at CCSL, has won a Youth Program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) for his project titled "A Neural Mechanism Study on Anticipatory Uncertainty."
[Project Introduction]
Exploring how the brain represents the external environment is one of the crucial objectives in cognitive neuroscience, and another primary goal is to understand the uncertainty of these representations. In recent years, despite some breakthroughs in studying the representation of anticipation and neural decoding (precision) in the human brain using brain imaging technology, much remains unclear about the characteristics of anticipatory uncertainty. This project employs magnetoencephalography (MEG) technology, combined with neural decoding, computational modeling, and other algorithms, to systematically investigate the neural mechanisms of anticipatory uncertainty in humans. The project aims to provide comprehensive, original, and systematic experimental evidence for the theoretical foundation of anticipatory uncertainty, and offer strong support for the clinical treatment and research of brain-inspired artificial intelligence and related mental illnesses.
