Motor adaptation under visual feedback uncertainty
(2025-03-07)Our motor system continuously receives sensory feedback from our limbs to control movement. This feedback is crucial for compensating for perturbations that disrupt proper control, a process known as motor adaptation. ... -
Multisensory integration under visual target uncertainty during planning of reaching movements
(2025-02-25)Movements are fundamental to human interaction and everyday function, relying on the integration of multiple sensory inputs for precise planning and execution. However, sensory uncertainty, particularly in the visual domain, ... -
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 ...
