Description

The brain that steers itself: discovering the rules of neural flexibility. Understanding human brain function is one the great fundamental problems in scientific research. This project aims to combine theoretical and empirical techniques to reveal how moment-to-moment changes in brain activity supporting flexible human behaviour can be modulated by internal systems in the brain. The results will propel our fundamental understanding of human brain function and what drives adaptive behaviour. Expected outcomes include next generation of whole-brain models, high impact publications, and international collaboration. The anticipated benefits include high-quality training of future Australian scientists and the establishment of Australia as a world leader in neuroscience research.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 3101 - Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Lead: Dr Eli Muller
