  • Does REM sleep in the platypus tell us something about the role of REM sleep in humans?

    Beschreibung: A lot of what we know about the function of the human nervous system is based on animal research. But how well can findings from other species be translatet to the human nerve system, really? As an example, there is research on REM sleep in the platypus. Does it tell us something (or anything) on how REM sleep works in humans?

  • How effectively can non-invasive EEG-based brain-computer interfaces control robotic hands in real time?

    Beschreibung: Brain signals recorded non-invasively can be used for controlling prostheses like robotic hands. But how well does this really work? Is it efficient enough to at least partly replace a real hand functionally?

  • To what extent are neural markers of covert spatial attention explained by microsaccades?

    Beschreibung: In covert spatial attention tasks the focus of attention needs to be moved in space without making any eye movements. Turns out, even if we are told to fixate the middle of a screen we are usually making microsaccades. So, can we be sure that brain signals associated with covert spatial attention are not merely signatures of these tiny eye movements?

  • Electrophysiological signatures of how the brain processes humour

    Beschreibung: Got the joke? If so, how did your brain do that? Find out which EEG signals corralate with processing of humour.

  • What is the role of the hippocampus in visual working memory?

    Beschreibung: There is an ongoing debate on whether or not the hippocampus is really relevant for visual working memory processes (or whether hippocampal activity during working memory tasks might merely reflect interaction with long-term memory processes).
