The current project aims to develop a super-hierarchical layer-specific information decoding model to investigate human multi-scale brain function. To achieve this goal, first, we will use the ultra-high-field laminar fMRI technique at 7 Tesla to obtain the whole brain layer-specific brain activation of the common marmoset. Then, we will record the high temporal resolution layer-specific neurophysiological data from the same marmoset. Finally, we will combine these data to develop the decoding model and test it in humans.
