The project combines three approaches: (1) a be- havioural approach based on data from normal subjects and from pa- tients with focal brain lesions, (2) an imaging approach based on fMRI activation studies and (3) a computational modelling approach based on a model incorporating dynamics at the neuronal and synap...
