Research Focus

• Attention mechanisms in the human visual system using psychophysical, neuroimaging (fMRI) and causal modelling methods
• Developing a computational model of visual attention and couple it closely with our experimental results
• Cortical areas and mechanisms which control attention during search
• Physiological and anatomical basis as well as functional relevance of interhemisheric connections between both primary motor cortices
• Physiological basis of the neurovascular signal in functional imaging
• Functional connectivity of the motor system
• Application and further development of a dynamical systems approach to movement coordination
• Detection, resolution and behavioral consequences of conflicts at different levels of information processing investigated in psychophysical, EEG, fMRI and lesion studies
