In order to orient ourselves in space, and to find our way around, we form mental maps of our surroundings. But what happens if the coordinate system of our brain,…

Often we remember very well the chronology of events. We can tell which event occurred first and how much time passed between two events. Apparently, memories of events in the…

NaturePodcast made a great video on the use of "human lab rats" and virtual reality in neuroscience. Among two other neuroscience labs our VR lab at the Kavli Institute for…

Mentale Landkarten - Wo bleibt eigentlich das Wissen, das wir uns jeden Tag aneignen? (Mental maps - Where is the knowledge that we acquire each day?) To learn the answer…

It is one of the most fundamental questions in neuroscience: How do humans think? In our latest paper, now out in Science, Jacob Bellmund and Christian Doeller teamed up with…

Silvy Collin defended her dissertation at the Donders Institute on 12 October 2018 and was awarded her PhD. During her time in our lab, Silvy worked on the representations of…

Our new study is out in Current Biology. Staudigl et al. show grid-like modulation of human high frequency activity in non-invasive magnetoencephalographic and intracranial EEG recordings. The results indicate that…

The entorhinal cortex is a crucial part of the brain’s navigation system but its function beyond navigation remains unclear. In our new study published in Nature Neuroscience, we examined entorhinal…

We constantly move our eyes to sample visual information. In order to make the sampling efficient, these eye movements need to be coordinated with the intrinsic brain dynamics that constrain…
