Kurzinfo

My research focuses on individual differences in visual perception and sensorimotor control. I am interested in how sensory, motor, cognitive, and motivational mechanisms are interwoven and how their interplay varies across individuals. My projects are concerned with variability in healthy subjects as well as with deficits in specific patient groups. I use age-related differences in healthy subjects to gain insights into functional limits, but also into potential plasticity across adult development. My goal is to foster a comprehensive perspective on the complexity of ageing processes and to characterize mechanisms which contribute to successful ageing.
