Behavioural physiology: Motion capture and analysis of natural, unrestrained behaviour
Electrophysiology: Intra- and extracellular recordings of nerves, muscles and individual neurons
Neurobionics: Modelling of bio-inspired control algorithms in both software and hardware, linking artificial neural networks and biorobotics
We have three major topics of research:
Context-dependent control of locomotion: How does an animal adapt its movements depending on the current goals and environmental conditions?
Active tactile sensing and visuo-tactile integration: How do animals exploit the near-range and far-range information sources during locomoition?
Neurobionics of active sensing and sensory guided locomotion: Which of the principles and mechanisms at work can be modelled formally such that they be transferred to technical systems?
Some of the current postdoctoral and graduate research projects are
Size- and modality-invariant tactile pattern recognition. (Mujagic)
Identification of invariant control elements in different species, developmental stages and behavioural tasks.
We maintain a number of national and international cooperations.
