Robert Stojan is an Assistant Professor of Sport and Movement Science at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany. He obtained his PhD in 2023 from Chemnitz University of Technology and the University of Münster, where he investigated the brain functional aspects of cognitive aging during ecologically valid motor-cognitive tasks, under supervision of Prof. Dr. Claudia Voelcker-Rehage, with additional mentorship from Prof. Dr. Otmar Bock. He subsequently continued as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Münster, where he further developed innovative approaches integrating neuroimaging and movement science in everyday-like virtual reality scenarios. His research lies at the intersection of movement science, cognitive neuroscience, and aging, with publications on everyday-like cognitive-motor interactions across the lifespan, mobile neuroimaging, and the effects of motor and cognitive training on behavior and brain function. Before his assistant professorship, Robert coordinated the EU-funded InterregVI project “Parkinson Vibrating Socks”, focusing on freezing of gait and vibrotactile cueing in Parkinson’s disease. His current projects explore neural mechanisms of motor-cognitive behavior in aging and Parkinson’s, and how sport and physical activity mitigate motor and cognitive symptoms as well as disease-related impairments in everyday tasks such as walking and driving.
