Predictive elements of grasping control following
brain damage
Short bio : The research interests of Professor Hermsdörfer are the principals of human movement and
motor learning with particular respect to the underlying neuronal mechanisms. Using methods of movement
analysis and neuroimaging, his current research explores elementary sensorimotor ability, complex routine
actions and sporting activities in the areas of leisure and high performance. The research findings are applied
to rehabilitation and prevention measures and sport interventions.
After studying engineering at TUM (1985) Professor Hermsdörfer (b. 1959) worked at the Max Planck Institute for Psychiatry in Munich. He completed his PhD in 1993 and acquired his postdoctoral teaching qualification (habilitation) in 2004 at the Institute for Medical Psychology at LMU Munich. As of 1990 he worked in
the clinical neuropsychology development team at the Bogenhausen Clinic in Munich and as of 2004 directed
the “Sensomotory Disorders” research group. He has been a professor at TUM since 2010.
