Dennis Redlich

Dennis Redlich is a Researcher at the German Sport University Cologne, affiliated with the Department of Performance Psychology. His current research focuses on optimizing movement perception and execution through incidentally generated movement sounds (ARIMOP project), with additional interests in visual/auditory stimulus processing, sleep-sport interactions, and handball/beach handball analysis.

Education: Previously a PhD student in Sport Informatics and Sports Games Research at the Institute of Exercise Training and Sport Informatics.

Research Interests

• Cognitive processes in sports decision-making
• Sleep deprivation effects on athletic performance
• Motor control and perceptual-cognitive interactions
• Inattentional blindness in sports contexts
• Value-based attention mechanisms

He has published prolifically in sports psychology and cognitive science, with recent work exploring sleep's role in executive functions and the cognitive biases influencing sports performance. Active in editorial roles for journals like Psychology of Sport and Exercise and Frontiers in Psychology.

Grants & Collaborations

• Motor heuristics and movement analogies for performance and health (2023-2024)
• Individualized performance development in elite sports (2021-2025)

His research integrates neuroscience principles with applied sports psychology, emphasizing real-world performance optimization strategies.
