Moving around and interacting with our environment as humans is a far more complex task than it might seem at first glance. At any given moment, a wide variety of information about ourselves, as well as other objects or people, must be perceived and processed. Since humans possess various sensory modalities and use them (sometimes complementarily) to form the most accurate picture of their environment, the integration of this information is necessary.

My research interest is in how we humans integrate different sensory modalities. My main focus is on proprioception, which is, among other things, the information we receive from our muscles and joints about our position in space. I would like to highlight the importance of proprioceptive feedback for healthy people within multisensory integration or movement control as well as Embodiment and try to model it.

My current projects that I am involved in, are:

  • Repeated Exposure to Temporal Delay
  • Influence of Patterns on our Behavior (Motion Dazzle Effect, Motion-Induced-Position Shift, etc.)
  • Vibrotactile Feedback for Sensory Substitution

I supervise bachelor's and master's theses in cognitive science and psychology.

Topics that interest me include, but are not limited to:

  • Delay Adaptation – how we humans are able to learn and solve tasks with delayed feedback
  • Motion Dazzle & Motion-Induced Position Shift – how repetitive patterns on cursor representations, for example, influence our behavior
  • Sensory substitution/augmentation—how and whether we humans can use vibrotactile feedback to perform movements (e.g., to control a cursor using a mouse, EMG, or other input)

I use various experimental methods for this purpose:

  • Electromyography (EMG) – Measurement of muscle activity, e.g. for movement control
  • Virtual-Reality (VR)
  • Eye-Tracking
  • simple pointing and reaching movements
  • Motion-Capture (3D)

If you are interested in supervision for your thesis, please contact me (by email or in person) – I already have some well-developed projects, but I am also open to your own ideas.
