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 ... -
Neural representation of complex motion in the primate cortex
(2021-11-04)This dissertation is concerned with how information about the environment is represented by neural activity in the primate brain. More specifically, it contains several studies that explore the representation of visual ... -
Neural correlates of conscious visual processing
(2021-06-01)The objective of the current thesis is to evaluate the role of alpha band activity and neural trial-to-trial variability in conscious visual perception and their relationship to each other. We investigate these measures ... -
Receptive Field Characterization in MSTd Neurons
(2018-12-14)The dorsal region of the medial superior temporal area (MSTd) in primate extrastriate visual cortex is reported to play a major role in the encoding and perception of optic flow stimuli, i.e. large-scale motion patterns ... -
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 ... -
Visual information processing, welfare, and cognition in the rhesus macaque
(2017-10-20)Visual information processing, welfare, and cognition in the rhesus macaque - Chapter one deals with motion and disparity in macaque monkeys' area MST and their functional independence. Chapter two relates with the advantages ... -
Neuronal representation and attentional modulation of space and feature information in primate vision
(2017-10-17)Visual perception lays the groundwork for many activities of animals and human. Decades of neuroscience research in vision also revealed much knowledge about the general computational principles of the brain. My dissertation ... -
Neuronal correlates of implicit learning in the mammalian midbrain
(2016-08-29)Filtering auditory information according to its relevance is critical to elicit the appropriate behavioral response. The relevance of a sound is not carried by the sound itself but rather assigned by the brain based on ... -
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 ... -
From vision to action: Hand representations in macaque grasping areas AIP, F5, and M1
(2014-12-19)Grasping and manipulating objects of different shapes is a fundamental feature of the primate hand. This skill requires the transformation of visual object information into corresponding hand actions. In the primate brain ... -
Attention modulation of complex motion patterns in human visual cortex
(2014-12-12)When we are moving through the environment, our visual system exposes to a barrage of motion information about the objects around us as well as our own heading. Processing such an amount of incoming sensory data is beyond ... -
An Exploration of Real-Time Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Neurofeedback in Cognition
(2014-10-31)This thesis deals with an extensive exploration of the use of rt-fMRI neurofeedback in cognition. Specifically, the work presented here comprises the major steps in the development of a suitable experimental framework for ... -
The somatosensory system: Exploration of digit-area somatotopy and feature-based attention
(2013-12-19)Even though the skin is by far the largest sensory organ that we humans possess and immensely important for coping with everyday life, the somatosensory system has been studied far less than the visual or auditory system. ... -
Modeling the origins of spatial and temporal variability in visual cortical representations
(2013-11-25)Response characteristics of orientation-tuned neurons in the visual cortex appear to be similar in mammalian lineages widely separated in evolution. The spatial arrangement of preferences across the cortex, however, shows ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Pattern Formation in the Cerebral Cortex
(2009-04-30)In this thesis I apply the tools of nonlinear dynamical systems theory to study pattern formation in the cerebral cortex on two different scales: the development of spatially complex visual ... -
The role of human medial frontal cortex in cognition investigated by functional magnetic resonance imaging.
(2007-11-22)In my PhD research project I have used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the functional anatomy of human medial frontal cortex (MFC) during performance of three ...
