Description
At TU Chemnitz, researchers investigate human and machine perception, cognition, and behavior through cognitive science experiments, field studies, sensor development, immersive simulations, and neurocognitive modeling inspired by the brain. The development of new sensors and the study of sensor systems and multimodal (human) perception is conducted across faculties, spanning fundamental research to diverse applications. A particular focus is on realistic, complex scenarios, such as intelligent sensing in human–technology interaction, perception and understanding of everyday scenes, and changes in sensing, cognition, and motor skills across the lifespan. Interdisciplinary degree programs such as Sensing and Cognitive Psychology (B.Sc., M.Sc.), Human Factors (M.Sc.), and Neurorobotics (M.Sc.) at TU Chemnitz introduce students to this research and prepare them for careers in these forward-looking fields.
