Project A3 - Multisensory integration in the aging brain — mechanisms and facilitation
PIs: Prof. Dr. Christian Gerloff, Prof. Dr. Friedhelm Hummel, Prof. Dr. Gui Xue
Project A3 will examine the neural dynamics of crossmodal learning in healthy elderly individuals experiencing normal, age-related cognitive decline by (1) using EEG and MEG to analyse neural signals associated with visuo-tactile integration and learning; (2) using NIBS to modulate related brain areas to enhance performance; and (3) building computational models to account for age-related differences. The investigations will focus specifically on oscillatory neural activity and large-scale dynamic coupling between brain regions.
