Techniques in Neuroscience

This section covers techniques for fundamental and clinical neurosciences, including, but are not limited to, neural signal processing, neuroimaging, neural interfaces, neuromodulation and brain stimulation.

  1. To identify mechanisms of cortical plasticity of the visual cortex and to quantify their significance, sensitive parameters are warranted. In this context, multifocal visual evoked potentials (mfVEPs) can make...
