NEUR3112 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Neural Coding, Sensory Processing, Thalamus
Document Summary
Where it has already collected reward or where it hasn"t. Over time, the mouses activities will become more stereotyped, so to avoid rough entrance, and entre smooth entrance. Looking for the correlation between 3 languages sensory input => neuronal activity => behaviour. Behaviour = neuronal output, motor response -> going into the tunnel. Brain as a processing machine yet, equally intriguing to study the brain as a language problem. The aim is to build a dictionary that links the external world to neuronal activity and behaviour. Rats, in the generative mode, sweep their whiskers forwards and backwards at a frequency of about 10hz. The rhythmic sweeping action is called whisking and an individual cycle is called a. Every movement back and forth is known as "1 whisk" -> up to 20 "whisks" per second. We would see these as continuous changes, rather than individual whisks. Generative mode -> not active sampling, but constantly occurring.
