Conditional visuomotor behavior in the Parietal Reach Region and Dorsal Premotor Cortex
… Arealen, der Parietal Reach Region (PRR) und dem dorsalen Premotor Kortex (PMd), aufgenommen, während die Tiere eine Verhaltensaufgabe lösen mußten. Weiterhin wurde ein Computermodell entwickelt, welches sich an den neuronalen Ergebnisse orientierte, um die zugrundeliegenden Mechanismen der …

Neural Correlates of Reach Planning and Execution
… dissertation investigates neural activity in the dorsal premotor cortex of the macaque monkey while simple and complex reaching movements are planned and executed. A novel virtual-reality obstacle-avoidance task is used to decorrelate the direction of the initial segment of the trajectory from the …

From thought to action
… ensemble spiking activity of neurons in primate dorsal premotor cortex (PMd). Point process modeling of target representation suggests that local and possibly also distant neural interactions influence the spiking patterns observed in PMd. In the second part, I draw on results from surveillance …

The Role of the Dorsal Premotor and Superior Parietal Cortices in Decoupled Visuomotor Transformations
… of the parieto-frontal reach network. The dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) and the superior parietal lobule (SPL) remain prime candidates within this network for controlling the transformations required during visually-guided reaching movements. Our brains are primed to reach directly towards a …

Rule-dependent and stimulus-dependent visuomotor mappings of other's actions
… anatomo-functional pathways: a parieto-(premotor) network mediating early stimulus-dependent responses and a (temporo)-prefrontal network producing late rule-dependent responses. Thus, the first experiment adds important information on the mechanisms by which the brain is both tuned to …

READY, STEADY, AND GO. A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study of Set-Related Inhibitory Activity in the Human Dorsal Precentral Region
… in monkeys and humans suggesting that the dorsal premotor cortex (PMD) and the supplementary motor areas (SMA) might be critically involved in these features. However, the distinctive role of these areas is still matter of controversy. The aim of the present thesis is to provide some …

Neural Adaptation and the Effect of Interelectrode Spacing on Epidural Electrocorticography for Brain-Computer Interfaces
… the electrode array centered over primary motor cortex: M1). Monkeys were then trained to perform a one-dimensional BCI task. The BCI control scheme was independent of any prior screening for task-related activity. All three monkeys successfully learned to perform the task with multiple control …
