Modeling the neural correlates of imitation from a neuropsychological perspective

Biljana Petreska von Ritter-Zahony

Imitation is a fundamental mechanism by which humans learn and understand the actions of others. This thesis addresses the low-level neural mechanisms underlying the imitation of meaningless gestures, using tools from computational neuroscience. We investi ...

Adaptive sensorimotor peripersonal space representation and motor learning for a humanoid robot

Micha Hersch

This thesis presents possible computational mechanisms by which a humanoid robot can develop a coherent representation of the space within its reach (its peripersonal space), and use it to control its movements. Those mechanisms are inspired by current the ...

EEG-MEG evidence for early differential repetition effects for fearful, happy and neutral faces

Nathalie George

To deter-mine how emotional information modulates subsequent traces for repeated stimuli, we combined simultaneous electro-encephalography (EEG) and magneto-encephalography (MEG) measures during long-lag incidental repetition of fearful, happy, and neutral ...

Apraxia: a review

Olaf Blanke, Aude Billard, Biljana Petreska von Ritter-Zahony

Praxic functions are frequently altered following brain lesion, giving rise to apraxia - a complex pattern of impairments that is difficult to assess or interpret. In this chapter, we review the current taxonomies of apraxia and related cognitive and neuro ...

Double dissociation between representational personal and extrapersonal neglect

Olaf Blanke

BACKGROUND: Although perceptual and representational neglect are frequently associated, the demonstration of a double dissociation between both neglect forms suggests that both rely on different central mechanisms. In addition, perceptual neglect can be se ...
