Why is touch perceived as weaker during movement? In our new preprint 📝, we examine tactile suppression during reaching. Using optimal control theory, we show that tactile suppression reflects dynamic, uncertainty-dependent integration of forward model predictions and sensory feedback.

Looking forward to meeting you #ECVP2025 Mainz this week, including collaborative work with @tobnie.bsky.social @dominikstrb.bsky.social @ookenfooken.bsky.social @fatatai.bsky.social @tsawallis.bsky.social @mamassian.bsky.social @guidomaiello.bsky.social @mariaeckstein.bsky.social and many others

Happy to announce that I am presenting a poster today at #CogSci25: Physical reasoning during motor learning aids people at transferring mass, but not motor control mappings. This is joint work with Dominik Ürüm, @mariaeckstein.bsky.social and @c-rothkopf.bsky.social Find out more at P3-T-192!

Our latest work on understanding the behavior of bounded agents in more naturalistic tasks accepted at #ICLR2025: Inverse decision-making using neural amortized Bayesian actors, with @dominikstrb.bsky.social @tobnie.bsky.social and @jan-peters.bsky.social based on @tobnie.bsky.social MSc thesis

Hello Bluesky, with my first post, I would like to announce that my first first-author paper is out now! Have you ever wondered whether people account for Newtonian physics when interacting with objects? Together with @dominikstrb.bsky.social and @c-rothkopf.bsky.social we show that they do!
