We are trying to understand how humans perceive the movements and actions of others, and how intentions, expectations and perception shape action. We are investigating the roles of different sensory modalities in movement control and body perception in humans and other species.

Our long-term goal is a computationally feasible theory of human activity in dynamically changing environments. To this end, we combine normative theorizing, modeling and movement recording in natural and naturalistic environments.
