In this episode, we were joined by Prof. Sonja Hofer, a researcher and Group Leader at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL. The Hofer Lab researches the neural basis of sensory perception and sensory-guided decision-making. We discussed some of the latest research from her lab, and the motivations behind her research.
