The temporal pattern of motion in depth perception derived from ERPs in humans.

Former studies have demonstrated the cortical regions being involved in visual motion processing. The strength of neuronal activation was found to depend on the direction of motion. In particular the detection of optic flow towards the observer seems of particular importance due to its obvious biological relevance.

Temporal activation patterns of lateralized cognitive and task control processes in the human brain.

In a recent fMRI study with identical word stimuli we demonstrated task-dependent lateralization of brain activity during visual processing, with left-hemispheric activations for letter decisions and right-hemispheric activations for visuospatial decisions (Stephan, K.E., Marshall, J.

Short-term modulation of the ipsilateral primary sensory cortex by nociceptive interference revealed by SEPs.

We studied the modulation of the topographic arrangement of the human ipsilateral primary somatosensory cortex following interference of nociceptive stimuli by means of dipole source analysis. Multichannel somatosensory evoked potentials were obtained by electrical stimulation of digits 1 and 5 of the left hand before, during and after the application of pain to digits 2-4 of the right hand. The primary cortical response of the SEP (N20) was obtained for dipole localization of the representation of the primary sensory cortex receiving input from digits 1 to 5.

Timing of visuo-spatial information processing: electrical source imaging related to line bisection judgements.

This study deconvolves the temporal dynamics of the neural processes underlying line bisection judgements (i.e., the landmark task).
