Learning to juggle in mixed reality
Mixed reality (MR) offers an innovative and immersive learning environment that makes juggling accessible in a new way. In a study, we want to evaluate an MR application for learning to juggle. We are interested in the extent to which the haptic feedback helps the user to immerse themselves in the task, how the tutorial supports learning and what advantages the MR environment offers over conventional juggling.

As part of this study, an empirical master's thesis is now available. The study is being conducted at the Chair of Engineering Psychology and Applied Cognitive Research and is part of the CeTI Cluster of Excellence (Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop; www.ceti.one)

Autistic traits in developmental prosopagnosia

"Autistic traits in developmental prosopagnosia" ("Autistic traits in developmental prosopagnosia")

"Does an online intervention with music, movement and mindfulness improve psychological and cognitive function in older people?"

At the Chair of Biological Psychology TU Dresden (Interim Head: PD Dr. Olga Klimecki) in collaboration with the DZNE Dresden, Brain and Resilience Working Group (Head: Dr. habil. Dipl.-Psych. Miranka Wirth).

Psychosocial risk factors, such as social isolation and depression, are associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease in older adults. Identifying lifestyle interventions that have a positive impact on mental and social health is therefore crucial for preventive and/or therapeutic interventions.

We have developed a multimodal exercise program(REMIND) consisting of movement, music and mindfulness to strengthen the mental health of older people (60 - 80 years). The study "REMINDer"(www.dzne.de/reminder) investigates the feasibility of the online exercise program and the effects on psychosocial and cognitive functions, among others. The intervention is carried out over 6 weeks (2 sessions per week) by experienced trainers in order to investigate the advantages of this low-threshold type of intervention.
