There has been a rise in interest in the last few years in empirically informed discussion of philosophical issues related to memory.

Umberto Olcese’s work combines systems neuroscience, perception, and neural dynamics to address fundamental questions about how neuronal activity shapes conscious visual experience. The talk will explore the intriguing possibility that not only active, but also inactive or experimentally inactivated neurons may play an important role in visual perception.
