Overview

Jeroen B. J. Smeets is affiliated with Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Their research primarily spans the field of Neuroscience, with a specific focus on Cognitive Neuroscience among other subfields such as Biomedical Engineering, Social Psychology, Human-Computer Interaction, and Developmental and Educational Psychology.

Their work emphasizes topics within Motor Control and Adaptation, Visual perception and processing mechanisms, and Muscle activation and electromyography studies. Additional research interests include Tactile and Sensory Interactions, Action Observation and Synchronization, Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies, and Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention.

Frequent coauthors contributing alongside Smeets include Eli Brenner, Katinka van der Kooij, Nina M. van Mastrigt, Emily M. Crowe, and Anna J. C. Reuten.

Smeets has published extensively, including in journals such as Experimental Brain Research, Perception, Journal of Vision, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and PLoS ONE. Notable recent papers include:

  • "Quantifying exploration in reward-based motor learning," 2020, PLoS ONE
  • "How feelings of unpleasantness develop during the progression of motion sickness symptoms," 2021, Experimental Brain Research
  • "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
  • "The (in)effectiveness of anticipatory vibrotactile cues in mitigating motion sickness," 2023, Experimental Brain Research

Jeroen B. J. Smeets also contributed to book publications, including a volume titled Haptics: Science, Technology, Applications, published by Springer Science+Business Media in 2020.
