I am interested in how the brain solves the complex task of integrating prior knowledge and multisensory information to establish stable and beneficial self-motion perception. Moreover, I am interested in the influence of vestibular information and self-motion perception on performance in spatial tasks.
My research focusses on
- cognitive and perceptual processes in ultrahigh magnetic fields (7 Tesla)
- multisensory integration and gravity perception
- the influence of posture and prior knowledge on percepts of self-motion
