is to understand how patterns of coordinated movement develop, persist, and change.
Biological and non-biological complex systems consist of many interacting parts, providing the capacity of spontaneous pattern formation and self-organization.
The development of coherent macroscopic patterns is of great strategic and theoretical importance. It allows for studying the corresponding low-dimensional dynamics.
Origins of coordination may be reconciled by showing how meaningful information originates from self-organizing processes.
Dynamical (in-)stability is key for the emergence of movement patterns.
Biophysics and (neuro-)physiology constrain movement.
Proper modeling helps to predict movement in a formal way.
Altered physiological constraints change our movement repertoire.
Environmental changes can yield qualitative changes in movement.
State-of-the-art technology can facilitate movement.
Coordination Dynamics enters in several courses throughout the Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Research Master’s programs in Human Movement Sciences.
We provide intensive training opportunities via Bachelor, Master, and Research Master research internships.
We investigate coordinated activity in macroscopic movements and their neurophysiological underpinnings.
All student projects are closely linked to our fundamental and applied research.
Intensive co-operation and intellectual exchange with outstanding researchers worldwide do constantly improve our research results.
