• Motion processing represents a fundamental visual computation ruling many visuomotor features such as motion anticipation which compensates the transmission delays between retina and cortex, and is fundamental for survival. We want to strengthen an existing collaborative network between the Universidad de Valparaiso in Chile and the Biovision team, gathering together skills related with physiological recording in the retina, data analysis numerical platforms and theoretical tools to implement functional and biophysical models aiming at understanding the mechanisms underlying anticipatory response and the predictive coding observed in the mammalian retina, with a special emphasis on the role of lateral connectivity (amacrine cells and gap junctions).
