Research at the Chair of Human Movement Science is devoted to the understanding of human sensorimotor control and associated neural mechanism. Major topics are
Analysis of motor behavior from elementary abilities to complex skills,
Consequences of disturbances of the central nervous systems and neurorehabilitation,
Development over the lifespan and interventions,
Sports performance and optimization.
We employ methods to capture and analyze human movements and forces as well as neuroimaging and brain stimulation methods and new technologies in rehabilitation.
Three contributions from the TUM Innovation Network eXprt were presented at the World Congress of Gerontology and Geriatrics conference in Amsterdam.

In our recent study, we expanded on our previous fMRI findings (Seifert et al., 2025) to investigate the causal role of the left ventro-dorsal stream, focusing on the anterior supramarginal gyrus (aSMG) and the ventral precentral gyrus (vPreCG) during the Novel Tool Test:

The study investigated whether impairments in hand motor function differ between early- and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, and how these impairments relate to everyday functioning.
