I work on all aspects of haptic and multisensory perception. My present research focuses on sensorimotor coupling in haptic perception, multisensory time perception, emotional effects of haptic stimuli, and signals to haptic perception of environmental properties. I use in the first place a visuo-haptic VR/AR-setup including a force-feedback device, force sensors and a stereo display, a high-resolution 3D printer (Stratasys Objet Pro), vibrotactile actuators and various custom-made stimuli.
