The role of thalamic pulvinar in eye-hand coordination for goal-directed actions
(2017-12-07)The pulvinar, the largest thalamic complex in primates has largely expanded during primate evolution, along with association cortices. Its dorsal part is anatomically connected to the fronto-parietal network, involved in ... -
The role of attention and adaptation in shaping cortical representations and the perception of abrupt changes in the visual environment
(2017-11-22)The visual system receives a wealth of visual information about objects with changing features in time. Attention is a mechanism allowing us to prioritize the processing of relevant information at the expense of other ... -
Methodological and Cognitice Aspects of transcranial Electrical Stimulation
(2017-04-06)Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) techniques are based on the external application of low-intensity electrical current to the brain. The external current can modulate cortical excitability by depolarizing or ... -
Towards population coding principles in the primate premotor and parietal grasping network
(2017-01-03)As humans, the only way for us to interact with the world around us is by utilizing our highly trained motor system. Therefore, understanding how the brain generates movement is essential to understanding all aspects of ... -
Neural coding of grasp force planning and control in macaque areas AIP, F5, and M1
(2016-10-27)Much research has been done in the last decades to decipher how the brain controls grasping movements. The anterior intraparietal area (AIP), the hand area of the ventral premotor cortex (F5), and the hand area of the ... -
Neural basis of rule-based decisions with graded choice biases
(2016-07-22)In every hour of every day we are faced with options; which route to take to work, where to go for a meal, which stocks to invest in. However, with limitations of movement, time and budget, our options are constrained. We ... -
The influence of attention on motion processing
(2013-10-25)This thesis examined the influences of attention on the processing of complex and simple motion stimuli. The work consists of two physiology studies. In the first study we investigated the question of how complex motion ... -
Spatial, feature and temporal attentional mechanisms in visual motion processing
(2013-06-27)The three projects documented in this thesis investigated the role of three forms of attention in visual processing. Spatial, feature-based and temporal attention. The spatial and feature-based attentional characteristics ... -
Neuronal mechanisms of the adaptation of conditional visuomotor behavior
(2011-10-20)Goal directed movements are guided by sensory inputs, which define the spatial constraints for such movements. Our vision, and also our other senses, give us information about the location ... -
Adaptation und Aufmerksamkeit in higher visual perception
(2010-04-29)Seeing, at its simplest, is merely the registering of light and some reaction to it. Primate visual perception is not only a passive, feedforward absorption of information of the surrounding ...
