Embodiment in action
Welcome!
On this website, one can find information on the research and further activities of the "Sports and Cognition"-group at the Institute of Sports Science, Leibniz University Hannover, as well as some professional information to my person. For further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Our research is grounded on the concept of embodiment and focuses on two main topics: motor decision making and joint action. In this context, we are interested, among other aspects, in the influence of age-related changes in cognitive and motor functioning on movement coordination.

Conference presentation: "Moving minds distracted - The impact of smartphone use on collision avoidance in human locomotion"
6th International Congress on Complex Systems in Sports
On 16th September I had the chance to present a recent study on the impact of smartphone use on collison avoidance in human locomotion at the 6th International Congress on Complex Systems in Sports. Thank you to all attendees of the session and to my colleagues from the Technical University of Munich, who made this study possible.
