Topic: Neural correlates and neural stimulation of temporal recalibration mechanisms in sensorimotor and inter-sensory contexts
This dissertation investigates sensorimotor and inter-sensory temporal recalibration through fMRI and tDCS studies, revealing the cerebellum and hippocampus’s roles in adapting to action-outcome delays. It demonstrates how these brain regions contribute to recalibration, with potential implications for understanding and treating schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). The research underscores the cerebellum’s facilitatory effect on recalibration, suggesting cerebellar tDCS could aid in addressing SSD-related predictive mechanism deficits.
