Deciphering deep architectures underlying structured perception in auditory networks

The principles of sensory perception are still a large experimental and theoretical puzzle. A strong difficulty is that perception emerges from networks of recurrently connected brain areas whose activity and function are poorly approximated by current generic mathematical models. These models also fail to explain many of the fundamental structures effortlessly identified by the brain (shapes, objects, auditory or tactile categories). I here propose to establish a new approach combining high-throughput population recoding methods with a tailored theoretical framework to derive computational principles operating throughout sensory systems and leading to biologically structured perception.…
