Neuronales Bremspedal
Gehirn & Geist
Ohne unsere Impulse im Zaum zu halten, könnten wir nicht zivilisiert zusammenleben. Doch was geschieht dabei im Gehirn? Laut den Neurowissenschaftlern Daria Knoch und Bastian Schiller lässt sich die Fähigkeit zur sozialen Selbstkontrolle an neurobiologischen Merkmalen ablesen.

Wie das Gehirn unser Sozialverhalten steuert
DRS4, Wissenschaft im Gespräch
Geduld haben, friedfertig bleiben, vorausschauend handeln - das ist nur möglich, wenn der Mensch über ein hohes Mass an Selbstkontrolle verfügt. Wesentlich gesteuert wird die Selbstkontrolle durch das Gehirn, genauer das Frontalhirn. Das hat die Neurowissenschaftlerin Daria Knoch von der Universität Basel herausgefunden.
Tous manipulés!
TSR1, Specimen
Nous nous croyons libres mais en réalité, à longueur de journée, nous sommes sous influence. De nos proches, de la pub et de toutes sortes de stimulations ou pressions quotidiennes. Grâce plusieurs expériences étonnantes, "Specimen" démontre comment, par des simples techniques de manipulation, il est possible modifier le comportement de quelqu'un. Comment une étiquette de vin agit directement sur ses papilles gustatives. Comment on peut implanter des faux souvenirs dans sa mémoire. Et comment on parvient à changer ses décisions en envoyant des impulsions magnétiques dans son cerveau.

Electrical Neuroimaging
(Christoph M. Michel, Thomas Koenig, Daniel Brandeis, Lorena R.R. Gianotti, Jiri Wackermann, Eds.)
Electrical neuroimaging is based on the analysis of brain electrical activity recorded from the human scalp with multichannel EEG. It offers enormous potential for the dynamic mapping of brain functions, and for the non-invasive diagnosis of neurological and psychiatric conditions. This authoritative reference gives a systematic overview of new electrical imaging methods, with a sound introduction to the basics of multichannel recording of EEG and event-related potential (ERP) data, as well as spatio-temporal analysis of the potential fields. The book enables researchers to measure valid data, select and apply appropriate analysis strategies, and avoid the most common mistakes when analyzing and interpreting EEG/ERP data. Importantly, it informs the research communities of the possibilities opened by these space-domain oriented approaches to the analysis of brain electrical activity, and of their potential to offer even more powerful diagnostic techniques when integrated with other clinically relevant data.
