  1. 1. From Motion to Movements : Revelations by the Infant EEG

    Författare :Pär Nyström; Claes von Hofsten; Riitta Hari; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Psychology; infant; brain; EEG; mirror neurons; ERP; ICA; MNS; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : The introduction of high density EEG (hd-EEG) nets for easy application on subjects of all ages has improved the possibilities to investigate the development of the infant neurophysiology. This dissertation consists of three studies (I – III) that investigate the visual motion system and mirror neuron system of the infant, and methodological sections that outline the bioelectrical background and the characteristics of the methods used.

  3. 2. Emotional Empathy, Facial Reactions, and Facial Feedback

    Författare :Per Andréasson; Ulf Dimberg; Gunilla Bohlin; Örjan Sundin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Emotional empathy; facial feedback; facial expression; emotion; empathy; mirror neurons; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : The human face has a fascinating capability to express emotions. The facial feedback hypothesis suggests that the human face not only expresses emotions but is also able to send feedback to the brain and modulate the ongoing emotional experience. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Effect of timing training in golf and soccer players : skill, movement organization, and brain activity

    Författare :Marius Sommer; Louise Rönnqvist; Charlotte Häger; Nicola Hodges; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Motor timing; rhythmicity; timing training; golf shot; golf swing; kinematics; precision; variability; coordination; movement dynamics; soccer; fMRI; mirror neurons; action observation; cerebellum; perception - action.; Psychology; psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background Although trainers and athletes consider ‘good timing skills’ to be critical for optimal sport performance, little is known in regard to how sport-specific skills may benefit from timing training. Thus, assuming that all motor performances are mediated by an internal timing mechanism, enhanced motor timing is expected to have positive effects on both planning and execution of movement performance, and consequently on complex sports actions as golf or soccer.

  5. 4. Regulatory mechanisms in olfactory system assembly and function

    Författare :Carolyn Marks; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The mammalian sense of smell relies on the detection of odorants by a large family of G protein coupled receptors, encoded by ~1300 different genes in mice (Buck and Axel, 1991; Zhang et al., 2007). These odorant receptors (ORs) are expressed in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the main olfactory epithelium (MOE). LÄS MER
