Dr. Chrastil, in collaboration with Jeff Krichmar (UCI, Department of Cognitive Sciences) and Doug Nitz (UCSD, Department of Cognitive Sciences), has been awarded a $1.5 million RO1 grant from the National Institute of Health (NIH) for their proposed study, “Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience: There and back again – Linking global maps to first-person perspectives.”
This study specifically focuses on the cognitive function that enables humans to link first-person perspectives with a global map. This ability to seamlessly transition between both perspectives is crucial for navigation and flexible perspective-taking.
Congratulations to Dr. Chrastil, Krichmar, and Nitz!
