NNU Berlin

The Neurocomputation Neuroimaging Unit at Freie Universität Berlin, investigating the somatosensory action-perception cycle using fMRI, EEG, MEG and TMS.

Job alert! I will soon advertise two PhD 🧑🏽‍🎓positions (predictive processing & perceptual/statistical learning; fMRI/EEG/modelling 🧑🏽‍🔬🔮) at the Free University Berlin, starting in January 2023. If you happen to know anyone interested, please send them my way 🧚🏼‍♂️

Now out in #JNeurosci! We show that the P300 response is elicited regardless of conscious access when perceptual awareness and reports are orthogonalised. In contrast, an earlier negativity reflects awareness independent of task demands.

New preprint from our Lab:

What are the neural correlates of conscious somatosensory perception?

We find that when controlled for task demands, late EEG signals (aka the P300) do not reflect conscious access!

The latest work with @nnu_berlin out: When response modality is pre-specified, modality-specific premotor regions (PMd/FEF) serve as a temporary storage site for categorical choice information in the service of flexible choice-action associations. https://t.co/sI94XX6FeX

Studying how the #brain realizes to keep a mental representation actively available in #human #consciousness. We tested for interactions of brain regions during the #rehearsal of tactile stimuli

My first PhD paper was accepted @NeuroImage_EiC. 🥳What a journey. 🎢 Thanks @arnovillri for your confidence & support. For conscious perception of electrical stimuli, we found global broadcasting without whole-brain functional network reconfiguration. 🖐🧠https://t.co/9Xe30tbAW5

[Center for Cognitive Neuroscience Berlin @CCNBerlin]

3 PostDoc positions on human vision available immediately @CCNBerlin with Radek Cichy, using 7T layer-fMRI or deep learning. Deadline 27th September, more info here: https://t.co/W1doICk6Rp

[Arno Villringer @arnovillri]

Sometimes I feel for other researchers results always fit the story nicely, but for us it is getting always more complicated: Nice work by Fivos Iliopoulos https://t.co/z3YtoO5WzZ

[Jakub Limanowski @jakublimanowski]

Say hi y'all to my new-born lab!
(Because being distracted by one twitter account is not enough!)

Neural surprise in somatosensory Bayesian learning https://t.co/SrSdjsxM5v #biorxiv_neursci

[Martin Grund @GrundMar]

New paper from our lab @MPI_CBS: Norman Forschack & @arnovillri show early EEG potentials (P50) scale with somatosensory stimulus intensity (even if imperceptible). Late potentials (N150) reflect detection, supported by lower alpha & stronger beta.⚡️🖐🧠 https://t.co/2wOU9TkZyR

[Esra Al @_Esra_Al]

I am excited that my first first-authorship paper with @arnovillri is out at PNAS. We found that stimulus timing along the cardiac cycle and fluctuations of heartbeat-evoked potentials shape somatosensory perception and evoked potentials differentially. Check out here:
