MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences UnitNeurons are noisy. Even when we view successive presentations of the same stimulus, the responses of a given neuron will vary. Moreover, this noise is correlated between neurons. Because correlated variability cannot be removed by averaging over the population, it can distort population responses to different stimuli, reducing the certainty of what stimulus occurred at […]
2018 Conference on Transdiagnostic Approaches to Mental Health Challenges – REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
17-18 September 2018 The meeting will bring together clinicians and researchers who are interested in a transdiagnostic approach to understanding, classifying and treating mental health challenges. In particular, we aim to address the challenge of translating the basic transdiagnostic science and classification of mental health into clinical assessment and intervention. The Conference itself will be held at […]

We hear what we want to hear!
Can we consciously influence our perception of the external world? Alex Billig, Matt Davis, & Bob Carlyon, from the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (MRC CBU), addressed this question in a recently published article in the Journal of Neuroscience. They did this by using sound sequences that can be heard either as coming from […]
Improving hearing by cochlear implant listeners
The Wellcome Trust has just awarded a major grant to MRC CBU Deputy Director Bob Carlyon, in collaboration with Professors John Middlebrooks and Jan Wouters, colleagues from the Universities of California and Leuven, respectively. The aim is to understand and overcome some of the limitations on hearing by deaf people who have been surgically fitted […]
