Our project aims to develop multimodal multi-scale functional mapping techniques to bridge the gap between the macroscopic functional organization obtained with functional MRI or optical imaging and the microscopic functional organization obtained with two-photon calcium imaging. More specifically, we will investigate the macroscopic and microscopic functional organization of the primary visual cortex and the higher visual areas of marmosets and integrate the multimodal multi-scale information.
