The Adaptive Mind (TAM)
The first phase of this project (2020–2025) is part of the cluster initiative project TAM (https://www.theadaptivemind.de) funded by the Hessisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kunst. In our specific project, we are interested in cognitive and motor adaptation across the lifespan. For more details, see here: https://idea-frankfurt.eu/en/projects/tam/
From 2026 on, this work will continue with the support of German Research Foundation, under Germany’s Excellence Strategy (EXC 3066/1 “The Adaptive Mind”, Project No. 533717223).
