Dr. Dirk Koester

 

Dirk Koester, a cognitive neuroscientist with a background in psychology set up and is in charge of  the Cognition EEG-lab in the Neurocognition and Action - Biomechanics Research Group at Bielefeld University, Germany. The research in the Cognition EEG-lab focuses on the brain functions underlying action perception, representation and control. Furthermore, interactions with other congitive functions as language and attention are investigated. A recent addition is a project on human human-interaction in (joint) task execution.

 

The projects are coordinated with cognitive and biomechanic measurements in other labs of the Neurocognition and Action Group and in cooperation with the Excellence cluster Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC).The joint purpose is to foster our understanding of human cognition and action control. Such knowledge is also relevant for applied settings as in sport psychology and cognitive interaction technology.
