CoPe Lab (Control and Perception Laboratory) investigates how humans perceive and control their movements. Based at the Department of Neuroscience and Movement Science, University of Fribourg, we combine experimental neuroscience, motion analysis, and immersive technologies to understand how the brain interacts with the body and the physical world.
Research Focus
Motion Perception — We investigate how the brain integrates visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive signals to form a coherent sense of self-motion. Using psychophysical methods and virtual reality, we study speed perception, spatial orientation, and multisensory integration.
Motor Control — We explore how the nervous system plans and adjusts movements in response to physical constraints and unexpected perturbations. Through analyses at multiple levels (3D kinematics, EMG, kinetic measurements, video-ocular recordings), our work spans from eye and hand coordination to whole-body balance and locomotion.
VR/AR for Sports & Health — We develop immersive training systems that leverage human-avatar interaction and machine learning to enhance perceptual-motor skills in athletes and support rehabilitation in clinical populations.
