In addition to experimental paradigms, a first computer-based cognitive architecture was developed to explain the interaction between sensorimotor and cognitive processes of self-assessment and action control and to make this transferable to autonomous technical systems. In the subsequent second phase (2021-2024), the empirical investigations and modeling work will be extended in the direction of multisensory processing and task-specific learning in order to understand how people organize their actions in multi-task situations and what role their continuous self assessment plays in this. </p></div></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">We are seeking applications for <b class="">two fully funded researcher (Ph.D.) positions</b> for 3 years.
