Jointly active when it matters: The nerve cells in the eye work together to recognize contrast and movements

Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, have discovered that nerve cells in the eye often process natural visual stimuli from the environment jointly in cell groups and in a coordinated manner. The coordinated cooperation of nerve cells enhances signal transmission in scenes with high contrast and movement. These findings could help to improve the treatment of blindness. The results have been published in the renowned scientific journal “Nature”.

Using AI to understand brain function

The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded a Consolidator Grant to the computer scientist and neuroscientist Professor Fabian Sinz at the University of Göttingen. The project “Vision2Action: A data-driven computational framework to discover how behavior impacts processing in mouse visual cortex” has been awarded around two million Euro for five years. In the project, Sinz and his team plan to develop new machine learning methods to understand how motor movement influences visual processing in the brain.

Five ERC Consolidator Grants awarded to TUM researchers

Can electric stimulation help the brain regain speech after a stroke? Can generative artificial intelligence create realistic 3D objects? Can qubits, the fundamental units of quantum computing, be entangled using light? These are among the questions that five research teams at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) aim to answer with the support of prestigious ERC Consolidator Grants.
