Both presented inspiring talks in our departmental research colloquium:
Prof. Dr. Takahiro Higuchi's talk was entitled "Visuomotor control of obstacle avoidance during walking".
Dr. Ryo Watanabe’s talked about "Mathematical Modeling of Internal Predictive Processes in Baseball Batters".
After work we invited our Japanese colleagues to a typical Thuringian BBQ in the patio of the Insitute of Sport Science. Thanks to our guests for the stimulating exchange of research ideas. Arigatogozaimasu!
