Research Interests

I conduct research on human action control with a focus on prevention actions and avoidance behavior. I am currently investigating how prevention actions are represented in the cognitive system and how this affects action planning, execution and monitoring.

Besides, I aim to specify how humans control their actions in general by disentangling different representational formats of action effects within ideomotor framework.
