This project explores how reward value influences sensory perception by investigating the neural mechanisms behind top-down and bottom-up interactions. It combines behavioral testing and brain imaging to understand how abstract signals affect perception across different sensory modalities.
Our perceptual system needs to maintain a balance between selectivity and sensitivity, so that redundant information is dismissed, but novel and important information does not go unnoticed.
Selective attention and reward value are among mechanisms that adjust this balance, by exerting top-down control over bottom-up sensory processing.
Excessive reliance on top-down signals has been suggested to underlie pathologic conditions, such as hallucinations.
In contrast, controlled boosting of top-down…
