Joachim Hermsdörfer

Joachim Hermsdörfer is a Professor at the Chair of Human Movement Science within the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences at the Technical University of Munich. His research focuses on human sensorimotor control and motor learning, emphasizing neural mechanisms through advanced methodologies like fMRI and TMS.

• Specializes in elementary motor skills, object manipulation, and complex tool use actions.
• Investigates motor impairments in neurological conditions (e.g., cerebellar damage, writer's cramp).
• Applies neuroimaging and neuromodulation techniques to study motor cortex and cerebellar interactions.

His recent publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches bridging neuroscience, biomechanics, and clinical rehabilitation. Notable themes include kinematic analysis of impaired motor functions, neural plasticity in motor learning, and cross-modal interactions between language and praxis systems.
