Kiri Pullar

Kiri Pullar is a researcher affiliated with the University of Hamburg, focusing on interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of neuroscience, cognitive science, and biomechanics. Their work explores topics such as Bayesian models of neural processing, kinematic coding in human and animal movement, and the neural basis of social cognition in autism spectrum disorders. Research also extends into neuroethology, investigating sensory systems in sharks and spiders using computational and behavioral approaches.

Key research themes include intention attribution in action observation, motor control mechanisms, and the development of formal models to understand sensorimotor integration. Publications highlight contributions to understanding how sensory information is processed to predict and categorize actions, with implications for both clinical (e.g., autism) and evolutionary contexts.
