Hands On – Neuroscience in the wild
The rapid growth in data-intensive genetics, cellular and systems neuroscience experiments has coincided with the rapid progression of computational method for understanding neural data. This is in stark contrast to the state of data-driven understanding of behavior. Starting from the simple question of what natural behavior in human’s consists off we will present both novel neurobehavioural data and computational methods for understanding. Using advanced body sensor networks, we measured eye-movements, full-body and hand kinematics of humans living in a studio flat, capturing about 70% of perceptual input and 80% of movement output of the brain. We are going to present some insightful results on sensorimotor that suggest that the control of behaviour "in-the-wild" is predictably different ways than what we measure "in-the-lab".
