Profile
Abstract
Elisabeth Kaminski currently works as a research assistant in the department of Human Movement Neurosciences at the Faculty of Sports Science, University of Leipzig. She is a psychologist by training and conducted her PhD at the Max-Planck-Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Leipzig in motor plasticity research. Her research interests are motor learning and movement kinematics, neuroplasticity, non-invasive brain stimulation and successful aging. Her most recent publication is "Examining the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation in the arc pointing task".
