Miriam Klein-Flügge

Miriam Klein I am interested in how decisions are translated into actions. In my PhD, I would like to study changes in connectivity between regions dedicated to decisions-for-actions and action selection in situations where decisions are related or unrelated to specific actions. I am also interested in the way in which decision-related brain regions bias activity in the motor system when an action is prepared. I use a combination of TMS, EEG and fMRI to address these questions
