• Current Projects

1. Time perception in healthy aging, how real and virtual active tool-use affect time perception depending on the near and far spaces
2. Plasticity of minimal self across life span, how virtual and real-life changes in sensorimotor experiences shape perception of body ownership, sense of agency and location (In collaboration with Constructor University Bremen and Universität Bremen)
3. Long-term motor experiences and its effect on the plasticity of space and body representations in golfers and raket players
4. Early detection and personalized treatment for neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders
