Research
The research in Michael Silver’s laboratory is focused on understanding how the brain constructs representations of the environment and how these representations are modified by cognitive processes such as attention, expectation, and learning. We address these questions with a combination of behavioral, neuroimaging, electrophysiological, modeling, and pharmacological techniques to study both healthy human participants as well as patients who suffer from diseases that affect perceptual processing.
