The (re-)integration of the cerebellum (RCB)

About the project: The (re-)integration of the cerebellum


In the RCB-group, we focus on the cerebellum’s role across cognition and the brain, with a special focus on its role in building precise and accurate sensory expectations that humans can rely on for informed behaviour. We investigate not only the role of the cerebellum, but also that of the basal ganglia and the thalamus in building precise and accurate sensory expectations in concurrence with respiration. We do this by investigating both healthy controls and patients, such as patients with Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor, using a combination of behavioural paradigms, magnetoencephalography (MEG) and recording of local field potentials (LFP) based on deep brain stimulation.
