Through the use of biomechanical simulations, we can analyze human movements to gain valuable insights into performance or health conditions. This means that we can externally observe the internal states of a person. Additionally, we can create entirely new movements, for instance, to virtually test...

To automatically capture depression-associated facial expressions in humans, the research of the sub-project D02 employs Empathokinesthetic Sensor technology and Machine Learning methods. The ongoing advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) provide exciting opportunities for interdisciplinary co...

To capture the effects of acute stress on posture and movement as naturally as possible, sub-project D03 uses modern sensor technology, known as "Motion Capture" techniques, to generate kinematic body models. From these models, movement characteristics are extracted and assessed using Artificial Int...

Nikita Shanin won the 2nd Prize at the Four-Minute-Thesis (4MT) Competition organized by the IEEE Communications Society. The 4MT Competition challenged PhD students to explain their research topic to a broad non-specialist audience in just 4 minutes. In the preliminary round of the competition, the...

We are looking for participants for our D02 sub-project. We need 256 participants in total and 128 individuals with a current depressive episode. We would greatly appreciate if you took part in our study or forward this information to someone who might be interested! Participants can receive up to 4...
