Motor Cognition
All cognitive processes are expressed by actions. In turn, complex actions draw upon cognitive functions. Motor cognitive disorders, like apraxia, strongly impair the outcome of stroke patients.

The vast majority of motor actions is the result of a complex interplay of various brain regions. In the past decades, brain regions involved in movement generation have been intensively investigated in both animal models as well as in humans. Recent techniques in computational neuroscience allow us to assess interregional interactions from times series acquired using in-vivo techniques like electroencephalography (EEG) or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
