معرفی
Lars Muckli is a Professor of Visual and Cognitive Neurosciences and Director of fMRI at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNI) at the University of Glasgow. He is also Co-chair of the 7T-Imaging Center of Excellence (ICE). His research focuses on brain imaging techniques, cortical feedback mechanisms, layer-specific fMRI analysis, and computational neuroscience. He has led major initiatives like the ERC Consolidator Grant on 'Brain reading of contextual feedback and predictions' and contributed to the Human Brain Project (HBP).
He holds a PhD from Goethe University Frankfurt (2002) and has worked at the Max-Planck Institute for Brain Research (1996–2007). Notable contributions include pioneering layer-specific fMRI studies, advancing predictive coding theories, and developing imaging techniques like line-scanning fMRI. His work spans multispecies studies, combining rodent and human neuroscience to model object recognition using deep networks constrained by multi-level data.
Publications emphasize feedback signals in visual cortex, contextual processing, and cross-modal sensory integration. Key findings include evidence of predictive signals in V1 and decoding sounds in early visual cortex of blind individuals. His research bridges cognitive theories with neurobiological mechanisms, leveraging advanced imaging and computational methods.
