- Description
- Brain structures that support spatial cognition by encoding one’s position and direction have mostly been studied in simple two-dimensional laboratory setups, whereas humans and other animals also move vertically in a three-dimensional (3D) world. In this talk I will describe a series of fMRI and behaviour experiments that investigated 3D place, direction, grid codes while participants explored various 3D virtual environments, including a multi-level building, a microgravity spaceship, and curved surface. This work extends our understanding of how we represent the spatial world and navigate within it by incorporating the important third dimension. https://tu-dresden.zoom.us/j/81554589108?pwd=ME1QZkJlcHRMSkZZL1BVN0RvaWJFUT09 Meeting ID: 815 5458 9108 Passwort: 6t@i1yTP
