Research Infrastructure

We investigate the neural processes that underlie the exciting development of babies and small children in the first months and years of life.

With the help of systematic behavioral observation, we uncover recurring interaction patterns and team dynamics.

Complex movement analyzes (kinemetry, dynamometry and electromyography) are carried out in the biomechanics laboratory.

We study functional principles and underlying neural mechanisms of multisensory functions and age-dependent plasticity of the brain, using a range of laboratory methods.

We are interested in the origins of social thinking and behavior and how it develops in infants and toddlers.

The strength laboratory has an isoketic measuring system for the standardized collection of strength parameters.

We examine various psychotherapeutic procedures.

In our Social Interaction Lab, we study the social dynamics of dyads and groups using video and audio recordings.

Exercise therapy, performance diagnostics, injury prevention, proprioception research, spinal function diagnostics and analysis of perception/cognition in sports

Social psychology studies are carried out to examine subtle behavioral parameters in connection with basic attitudes.
