Sensorimotor Research Lab

Welcome to the Sensorimotor Research Lab which is part of the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour at the Radboud University Nijmegen, and housed within the Donders Centre for Cognition. The objective of our research group is to elucidate the computational and neural strategies in human sensorimotor processing, using modeling, psychophysical and neuroimaging techniques. Our main focus is on how sensory information is transformed into spatial representations and motor actions and how different spatial and motor representations are updated and/or maintained during self-motion.
