The German Research Foundation (DFG) has granted funding for the Hamburg-based Research Collaborative (“Sonderforschungsbereich”, SFB) 936, Multi-site communication in the brain, for a second 4-year period, from 2015–2019.
Jonathan Schubert, Tobias Heed, Helene Gudi und Brigitte Röder are currently wrapping up the work of the first funding period’s projects in the SFB, “The role of vision for shaping cortico-cortical interactions mediating sensorimotor transformations”.
The new period’s project, “Tactile-visual interactions for saccade planning during free viewing and their modulation by TMS” is a collaboration between Tobias Heed and Brigitte Röder of BPN, and Peter König of the University of Osnabrück. We will investigate how different brain regions connect with each other to merge space across our senses.
