Experiments involve healthy controls, a= s well as subjects with selective deficits (i.e. phonagnosia, prosopagnosia= , dyslexia, asperger). An additional emphasis is placed on linking the expe= rimental work to computational models of dynamic perception and action.=20 The research is conducted at the MPI-CBS in Leipzig, Germany, an internatio= nally leading centre for cognitive and imaging neuroscience equipped with a= 7.0 T MRI scanner, two 3.0 T MRI scanners, a 306 channels MEG system, TMS,= tDCS and several EEG systems.
