The group’s focus areas in research and teaching lie in the intersection of sports and movement sciences, psychology and neurosciences. In particular, it encompasses the topics: 

  • Developmental embodiment research: Interrelationship of age-related and experience-dependent changes in cognitive and motor functioning
  • Joint action: Interaction of cognitive and motor processes during interpersonal coordination in human locomotion
  • Motor decision making: Interplay of cognitive and motor processes in action planning and control

Further interests concern:

  • Influence of physical activity and sports on physical and cognitive health 
  • Influence of stress on cognitive and motor functioning
