Proactive planning of action sequences
(2024-07-05)Everyday tasks often require a sequence of actions. Knowing which actions will follow, allows us to proactively prepare for subsequent actions before the first action has been executed. This thesis investigated the neural ... -
Neural correlates of action effects anticipation – towards ecological more relevant paradigms
(2023-12-07)Imagine it is Saturday morning and you are going for groceries with your car. Once you arrive at the supermarket, you attempt to reverse park your car in a narrow parking space. You have learned in school, if you want ... -
Force information integration in the primate fronto-parietal reach network
(2023-11-10)The primate sensorimotor system relies on force predictions, when executing a motor command with a certain force. Yet it remains unclear if the sensorimotor system uses these force predictions to prepare a motor command ... -
Neural population dynamics and frontal-parietal circuit for context-dependent sensorimotor computations
(2020-05-27)This dissertation investigated the computational strategies in the primate's brain for goal-directed movement control and the information stream in inter-areal brain circuits. The animal model used in this research was ... -
Decoding Cortical Motor Goal Representations in a 3D Real-World Environment
(2018-10-10)In sensorimotor neuroscience a certain motor behavior, and its underlying neuronal mechanism, is usually studied in isolation and tightly constrained by the experimental setting to provide interpretable results. When ... -
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 ... -
Reference frames for planning reach movement in the parietal and premotor cortices
(2016-02-16)Human and nonhuman primates are able to plan and execute goal-directed behavior and flexibly respond to their surrounding stimuli. Their ability to adapt to changes in their environment is a crucial factor for their ... -
Neuronal basis of goal-directed reach planning under reversed vision in the parietal and premotor cortices
(2013-10-09)In our everyday life we can produce goal-directed movements precisely and effortlessly, for example to saccade towards a location that you are interested in, or to reach and grasp for a cup of coffee. Goal-directed behaviors ... -
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 ...
