Getting Back on Track After the Unexpected Happens: Decision Making in Predictable and Unpredictable Environments

Grant number: DP120100651 | Funding period: 2012 - 2016

Completed

Abstract

This project intends to examine how the brain decides where to look next with our eyes, a decision made approximately three times every second. Understanding how the normal brain makes decisions will in turn help us to understand what happens when things go wrong in diseases like dementia and Parkinson's disease.
