Freiburg Researchers Use Signals from Natural Movements to
Identify Brain Regions
Whether we run to catch a bus or reach for a pen: Activities
that involve the use of muscles are related to very specific areas in the
brain. Traditionally, their exact location has only been determined through
electrical stimulation or unnatural, experimental tasks. A team of scientists
in Freiburg has now succeeded for the first time in mapping the brain’s surface
using measurements of everyday movements.
