Welcome

Mission

"Our primary focus is to understand the principles underlying control of human movement with special emphasis on coordination and cognitively demanding movement tasks, in association with sensory processing. Furthermore, we have developed a long-standing interest in skill acquisition and the neurobehavioral changes that occur as a result of practice."

Our Research Units

Neuroimaging and motor control

The ultimate goal is to advance our understanding concerning the importance of brain structure (and function) in motor control and (re-)learning in a healthy and pathological state.

Sensorimotor function in health and disease

We aim at understanding how the brain controls our movement and how it adapts them to new environments with a focus on age- and disease-related effects on these sensorimotor processes.

Performance and recovery in sport

The main objective is to unravel the vital impact of sleep on athletes’ recovery processes and overall performance.

Integrated biosignal analysis

The overarching aim is to process and integrate neural, biomechanical and physiological signals to characterize behavioural performance in healthy and diseased individuals.
