My research is focused on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying human control of movements.
I focus on the brain's ability to use predictions to inform the sensory system about ongoing movements.
These predictions seem to influence conscious perception of movements and may be responsible for our sensation of control.
I am currently investigating early development of cognition in infants, amoung others infants' abilities to predict the consequences of their own movement. This work is done in collaboration with the Elsass Institute
I work as group leader for Cognitive Motor Neuroscience at Department of Neuroscience, and do coordination and supervision of neurophysiology research within the domain of cognitive control of movements.
