Zusammenfassung

The investigation of brain processes related to complex stimuli and tasks is currently a growing field in functional brain imaging research. The somatosensory modality can serve as model for the study of complex stimulus processing, because brain regions involved in the processing of tactile information are clearly defined and therefore the interactions between these areas and their sequential or parallel activation can be studied well. In addition, the topography of somatosensory representations along the central sulcus allows for detailed studies of dynamic changes of sensory map org...
