At SfN, a block of three posters by myself, Simon Peron and Daniel O’Connor will showcase three ways to approach the problem of touch coding.
My work on whisker force measurements, and single cell and silicon probe based cortical recordings during active objection localization :
| Program#/Poster#: | 677.18/KK18 |
| Presentation Title: | Encoding whisking-related variables in the mouse barrel cortex during object localization |
| Location: | Hall F-J |
| Presentation time: | Tuesday, Oct 16, 2012, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM |
| Authors: | *S. A. HIRES, D. O’CONNOR, D. GUTNISKY, K. SVOBODA; Janelia Farm Res. Campus, ASHBURN, VA |
Simon Peron’s work on recording a complete representation of touch using in-vivo imaging with new G-CaMP variants during a similar behavior :
| Program#/Poster#: | 677.12/KK12 |
| Presentation Title: | Towards imaging complete representations of whisker touch in the mouse barrel cortex |
| Location: | Hall F-J |
| Presentation time: | Tuesday, Oct 16, 2012, 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM |
| Authors: | *S. P. PERON1, V. IYER2, Z. GUO2, T.-W. CHEN2, D. KIM2, D. HUBER3, K. SVOBODA2; |
Daniel O’Connor’s work on constructing synthetic perception of touch and object localization via cortical cell-type specific optogenetic stimulation during behavior :
| Program#/Poster#: | 677.06/KK6 |
| Presentation Title: | Neural coding for object location revealed using synthetic touch |
| Location: | Hall F-J |
| Presentation time: | Tuesday, Oct 16, 2012, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM |
| Authors: | *D. H. O’CONNOR1, S. A. HIRES1, Z. GUO1, Q.-Q. SUN2, D. HUBER1, K. SVOBODA1; |
This is a must-see session for people interested in touch coding, the whisker system, in-vivo cortical imaging, or synthetic perception via optogenetics.
I hope to see you there.
