# CRCNS: There and Back Again Linking Global Maps to First-Person Perspectives

> **NIH NIH R01** · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-IRVINE · 2024 · $355,404

## Abstract

The ability to seamlessly move between global map perspectives (GMPs), such as looking at a map or 
taking in a scene from a high vantage point, and first-person perspectives (FPPs), such as being on the 
ground immersed in the scene, has obvious importance for navigation and, more broadly, flexible 
perspective-taking. Using a multidisciplinary approach, we will investigate the neural architectures, 
environmental features, and spatial representations that support these transformations. We will develop 
neural network models that make predictions to be tested in experiments with the rodent and human, and 
use that experimental data to inform the model.
