Key subfields include cognitive neuroscience, social psychology, experimental and cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, and physiology.

Their research covers diverse topics, such as:

Action observation and synchronization
Neurobiology of language and bilingualism
Neural and behavioral psychology studies
EEG and brain-computer interfaces
Voice and speech disorders
Dysphagia assessment and management
Phonetics and phonology research

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Ackermann include:

"Physical embodiment and anthropomorphism of AI tutors and their role in student enjoyment and performance," 2025, npj Science of Learning
"How adaptive social robots influence cognitive, emotional, and self-regulated learning," 2025, Scientific Reports

Their collaborators feature frequently in their publications. Notable co-authors are:

Ingo Hertrich
Susanne Dietrich
Verena V. Hafner
Rebecca Lazarides
Corinna Blum

Publications appear in a variety of academic venues related to neuroscience and communication. These include:
