Sensory cue integration in the fronto-parietal sensorimotor network (C05)

Subject Area Cognitive, Systems and Behavioural Neurobiology
Human Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience
Term from 2011 to 2022
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 154113120
 
Action selection and movement preparation require cross-modal sensory integration, e.g. when adjusting the force required to reach a spatial target. We study such integration of visuospatial with somatosensory information in the frontoparietal sensorimotor network of rhesus monkeys. We ask if planned force of a movement modulates spatial motor goal encoding and ensure behavioural relevance of the force information using decision making tasks. Our project will help to understand visuo-somatosensory cue integration in guiding actions.
