Dear Users

Today (4.30-5.30 pm YNiC open plan) Ed Silson will give a project proposal presentation on "Functional Properties of LO-1 and LO-2 in human Lateral Occipital cortex"

Summary: The Lateral Occipital (LO) cortex is known to be an object-selective brain region. Although originally thought not to contain a retinotopic organisation, recent evidence suggests that LO contains two adjacent representations of the contralateral visual field, referred to as LO-1 and LO-2 (Larson & Heeger, 2006). Larson and Heeger (2006) suggested that LO-1 and LO-2 might have different functional properties and that both contribute to object recognition. We aim to use functionally-guided TMS to probe the functional properties of LO-1 and LO-2.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

Best wishes Rebecca
