[equipment / methods:]

  • high density multichannel (64-/32-channel) electrophysiology of singel units and neuronal populations
  • time and frequency domain analysis of spike train and time series data
  • microstimulation
  • behavioral analysis
  • histological staining methods
  • immunohistochemistry
[research topics:]

  • Temporal dynamics of assemblies in the visual system
  • Cellular mechanisms of multisensory interactions
[Temporal dynamics of assemblies in the visual system:]

Measurements are performed to study the dynamics of central processing in the visual system. In particular temporal aspects of neural signals such as oscillatory activity and synchrony in different frequency bands, and the phase-coupling of neural signals are studied under visual stimulation.


[Cellular mechanisms of multisensory interactions:]

Here we address the relevance of correlated neural activity for cross-modal integration by multi-site microelectrode recordings. Under acute and chronic-implanted conditions we study how the modulation of synchrony between populations of neurons in different sensory regions is possibly involved in multisensory integration.
