PD Dr. Dieter F. Kutz
Dieter F. Kutz is a private lecturer in physiology and a Specialist Physiologist (DPG) working in the Department of Neuromotor Behavior and Exercise at the Institute of Sports Sciences of the University of Münster. He received his doctorate from the Ruhr University Bochum and habilitated at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich with a thesis on multi-finger precision grip in cerebellar patients. His research interests lie in the physiology and pathophysiology of motor systems, with a focus on associative and adaptive learning of movements. He aims to investigate these processes using neurophysiological and biomechanical methods, ranging from the level of individual neurons to brain networks and behaviour. The results of his research are translated into clinical applications, with a current focus on new technologies for patients suffering from Parkinson's disease.
