Dimitris Voudouris

Dimitris Voudouris is a Researcher at the Department of Psychology & Sports Science at Justus Liebig University Giessen. His work combines eye and body motion tracking with psychophysics to explore how humans use sensory information to perform movements, particularly in young and older adults.

• PhD (2013) in Human Movement Sciences, Vrije University Amsterdam
• MSc (2007) and BSc (2005) in Physical Education & Sports Sciences, Aristotle University Thessaloniki

His research focuses on sensorimotor control, tactile suppression, and visuomotor integration. He investigates how tactile perception is dynamically modulated during reaching, balance control, and interception tasks, with a particular emphasis on aging effects. Recent work explores the reliability of tactile suppression measurements, postural demands on tactile perception, and predictive gaze allocation in older adults.

His publications span journals like Journal of Neurophysiology, Scientific Reports, and PNAS, highlighting his contributions to understanding sensorimotor predictions and sensory processing in motor control. He teaches Master seminars in programming, body movement analysis, and Bachelor seminars on perception and action.

He is part of the Perception and Action team led by Prof. Dr. Katja Fiehler, collaborating with researchers like Dr. Belkis Ezgi Arikan and Dr. Meaghan McManus.
