Excerpt

Connecting neuronal activity to perception requires tools that can probe neural codes at cellular and circuit levels, paired with sensitive behavioral measures. In this chapter, we present an overview of current methods for connecting neural codes to perception using precision optogenetics and psychophysical measurements of synthetically induced percepts. We also highlight new methodologies for validating precise control of optical and behavioral manipulations. Finally, we provide a perspective on upcoming developments that are poised to advance the field.
