How do Bayesian brains acquire priors?

Summary of the Project
This project explores how the brain constructs perceptual experience from visual input, focusing on the role of Bayesian models in perception. A key challenge in vision science is understanding how humans interpret complex scenes from the limited information available in retinal images. Modern theories suggest that perception involves probabilistic inference, where the brain integrates sensory signals with prior expectations to make sense of the world. However, the origins and nature of these expectations remain poorly understood. This research aims to advance our understanding of perceptual experience by examining how structured patterns in visual input can inform models of perception. The work spans computational modelling and experimental approaches to uncover principles that explain how visual systems interpret properties such as shape, material, and lighting from images. By addressing fundamental questions about perception, this project will contribute to psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, offering insights into how biological and artificial systems can learn to interpret complex environments.
I'm looking for a skilled PhD student who doesn't want to work too hard but still do great science:

The ggseg ecosystem finally has a proper home! ๐ง
For those who don't know, ggseg is an R package ecosystem for visualizing brain atlas data. Think ggplot2, but for brains.

TMSMultiLab kindly requests that you show TMS coils TO SCALE on your methods brain Figures. This looks like the tiniest #TMS coil ever invented. In reality, the coil would cover ~2/3 of the brain. Make coils GREAT again!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
