| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As for the plasticity and the learning in the cortical activities, the neuron ensemble in the microscopic level often changes their activity patterns adaptively to the imposed constraint of the external environment in the macroscopic level(such as the amount of the rewards). In order to explore the basic principle behind these phenomena, we developed the experimental setup of the neural operant conditioning targeting the neuron ensemble activities of Cat visual cortex. We also developed the method for chronic recordings of multiple cortical neurons and investigated the statistical analysis of information decoding based on the population activities of the multiple neurons.
