Luc Selen is an assistant professor at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, where he specializes in sensorimotor neuroscience. His research focuses on how humans interact with their environments effectively despite uncertainties caused by internal and external noise. Specifically, he investigates the internal noise's impact on the impedance and stiffness control, which is crucial for generating stable arm movements. In the Sensorimotor Lab, he explores mechanisms underlying spatial perception using vestibular information. Luc has a strong academic background, completing his PhD at the Faculty of Human Movement Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and conducting postdoctoral research at the Computational Biological Learning Lab under Daniel Wolpert in Cambridge, UK. Notably, he received a Veni grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research for a project on motor learning in accelerating environments. Luc has also managed multiple research grants focusing on cognitive control and motor learning processes, with efforts including significant funding from the Donders Centre for Cognition.
