SUMMARY:Perception\, Plasticity and Prediction: how the brain learns from 
 experience - Professor Zoë Kourtzi\, University of Cambridge

DESCRIPTION:Successful everyday interactions entail that we interpret the 
 current scene and predict upcoming events. The brain is thought to achieve
  this challenge by learning through exposure to the environment and traini
 ng. Yet\, we know relatively little about the brain plasticity mechanisms 
 that support our ability for flexible behaviour. I will describe work that
  combines behavioural measurements\, multimodal brain imaging and computat
 ional analysis to identify and test these mechanisms. Our work suggests th
 at learning optimises a distributed neural code for adaptive perceptual de
 cisions in the human brain.
