Overview

Eli Brenner is affiliated with Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands and has contributed extensively to the field of Neuroscience, with a focus on Cognitive Neuroscience and related subfields. Their research spans multiple areas including Human-Computer Interaction, Social Psychology, Biomedical Engineering, and Developmental and Educational Psychology.

The primary research topics addressed by Brenner include:

  • Visual perception and processing mechanisms
  • Motor Control and Adaptation
  • Tactile and Sensory Interactions
  • Gaze Tracking and Assistive Technology
  • Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies
  • Action Observation and Synchronization
  • Muscle activation and electromyography studies

Brenner has published in several scientific venues. The most frequent publication outlets include:

  • Journal of Vision
  • Experimental Brain Research
  • Perception
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Attention Perception & Psychophysics

Selected recent papers authored or co-authored by Brenner are:

  • "Fast responses to stepping-target displacements when walking", 2020, The Journal of Physiology
  • "Tapping on a target: dealing with uncertainty about its position and motion", 2022, Experimental Brain Research
  • "Why some size illusions affect grip aperture", 2020, Experimental Brain Research
  • "Where do people look when walking up and down familiar staircases?", 2023, Journal of Vision
  • "Effects of ageing on responses to stepping-target displacements during walking", 2020, European Journal of Applied Physiology

Brenner has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including:

  • Jeroen B. J. Smeets
  • Emily M. Crowe
  • Andrea Ghiani
  • David L. Mann
  • Frédéric Danion

The scope of Brenner's work incorporates experimental and theoretical approaches to understand sensorimotor integration and perceptual processes in human behavior. This includes investigating how humans visually perceive and physically interact with their environment, how motor responses are adapted based on sensory feedback, and how gaze behavior is coordinated during locomotion and manual task performance.
