Effects of ageing on inter-hemispheric cross-talk – Studying EEG, FMRI, and DTI in the context of motor learning

With age our body undergoes various neurophysiological changes, including the central nervous system and the motor network. My PhD project investigates these age-related changes in the symmetry of cortical activity patterns during motor performance of (unimanual) hand movements, with a specific focus on the process of learning. For this, I combined two different modalities, EEG and fMRI, and performed DTI recordings in two different groups: young (20-25 years) and older (60-70 years) healthy adults.
