Job description:

The Section Neuropsychology focusses on the investigation of spatial cognition and object recognition in humans. The current issues of our work comprise the perception of body orientation, spatial attention and exploration, and visuomotor coordination in grasping and pointing movements. We investigate patients with brain lesions as well as healthy subjects using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and eye- and hand movement recordings.
