Recent philosophical and neuroscientific theories converge on the assumption that the basic foundations of self-consciousness lie in those brain systems that represent the body. Neurological cases in which this basic bodily self-consciousness is disturbed ...
Repetition of environmental sounds, like their visual counterparts, can facilitate behavior and modulate neural responses, exemplifying plasticity in how auditory objects are represented or accessed. It remains controversial whether such repetition priming ...
Presenting two or more stimulus types randomly interleaved, so-called roving stimuli, disrupts perceptual learning in many paradigms. It was recently reported that learning with disrupting stimuli types is possible when stimuli are presented in an alternat ...
This research project is an experimental study of decision-making in very difficult contexts resembling those encountered in financial markets. The starting point was the empirical observation that financial assets are objects of a very complex kind. Speci ...
Sensory processing, sensorimotor integration and motor control are amongst the most basic functions of the brain and yet our understanding of how the underlying neuronal networks operate and contribute to behaviour is very limited. The relative simplicity ...
Controversy exists regarding the site where anesthetics act in the brain to produce sedation and unconsciousness. Actions in the cerebral cortex and thalamus are likely, although the relative importance of each site is unclear. We used in computo modeling ...
Human motion studies have focused primarily on modeling straight point-to-point reaching movements. However, many goal-directed reaching movements, such as movements directed towards oneself, are not straight but rather follow highly curved trajectories. T ...
Recent neurophysiological studies have associated focal-task specific dystonia (FTSD) with impaired inhibitory function. However, it remains unknown whether FTSD also affects the inhibition (INH) of long-term overlearned motor programs. Consequently, we in ...
The human brain analyzes a visual object first by basic feature detectors. On the objects way to a conscious percept, these features are integrated in subsequent stages of the visual hierarchy. The time course of this feature integration is largely unknown ...

Perceptual learning is learning to perceive. For example, a radiologist is able to easily identify anomalies in medical images only after extended training. Theoretical and psychophysical studies [1-12] suggest that such improvements of performance are acc ...
