Methods

In our studies, we combine modern, descriptive psychopathological methods with objective measurements. Furthermore, we apply behavioral experiments to target gesture behavior, tool use or territorial behaviors. We also try to understand the neural basis of these behavioral alterations. Therefore, we examine patients with EEG, non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (TMS, tDCS) and various MRI techniques. The aim is to develop specific neurostimulation techniques or training programs helping patients to improve everyday functioning.
