Topic: The Electrophysiological Correlates of Processing Self- and Externally-Generated Sensations To interact effectively with the world, the brain must distinguish between self-generated sensations and external ones. This is achieved through an efference copy-based forward model, which sends a copy of the motor command to sensory cortices with a predicted action outcome. Studies show that self-initiated … More Congratulations Edward Ody for the successful defense today!!!

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 … More Congratulations Christina Schmitter for the successful defense today!!!
