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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Inducing neuroplasticity in the human motor system by transcranial magnetic stimulation: from pathophysiology to a therapeutic option in movement disorders
(2010-05-17)Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has become a well established method to non-invasively assess corticospinal excitability in human subjects. In addition repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is capable ... -
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 ... -
Perception of visual motion speed in human und monkey
(2007-06-27)Perception of motion is crucial for the survival of most animals, as well as of humans. It has been shown that a number of stimulus factors can influence the visual perception of motion ...
