Gesture is a substantial component of interpersonal communication. The processing of speech-related gestures requires the integration of different sensory modalities, i.e., the meaningful combination of auditory and visual input. However, gesture-speech integration (GSI) is not only multisensory in nature, but at a ‘higher’ semantic level. This unique feature has rendered GSI an emerging topic in … More New DFG project: Multi-stage integration during co-speech gesture comprehension: a systematic investigation combining EEG and fMRI!

Special thanks to all members and collaborators of the TNM-Lab!!! The new focus of the prolongation project of PACT-SZ is on temporal recalibration. Although the preliminary results from the current project support our hypothesis of impaired action-feedback processing in patients, we cannot rule out that an impairment in temporal recalibration (i.e., adaptation to sensorimotor delays) … More New DFG funding: The extension of the Heisenberg professorship for Translational Neuroimaging and related research projects were accepted!
