Interaction between hebbian and homeostatic plasticity in adult humans

The project investigates the interaction between hebbian and homeostatic plasticity in adult humans. Hebbian plasticity is assessed as the potentiation of the Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) observed after 2-min of high-frequency visual stimulation, using EEG. Homeostatic plasticity is assessed as the shift of ocular dominance (assessed psychophysically with binocular rivalry) observed after 1h of monocular deprivation. The project will combine psychophysics and EEG. The intern will work in close collaboration with a PhD student.
