How about we explore the fascinating world of human movement? We are standing before Bewegungslabor OpenLab. It is at the Institute of Sport and Exercise Sciences. This OpenLab offers possibilities for researching athletic and everyday movements. The research happens in an interdisciplinary context.
Bewegungslabor OpenLab comprises four main labs. There is the Motion Lab. Then there is the Neuromotor and Training Lab. The GRAIL is another lab. Finally, there is the Movement Science Lab.
The OpenLab is well-equipped and modern. It features motion analysis systems and force plates. Equipment records brain activity, eye movements, and muscular activity. Apparatuses include a treadmill, driving simulator, and an ergometer. The lab enables experimental investigations. These investigations range from individual movements to experiments with sports teams. Realistic conditions are key here.
Do you want to conduct research in the OpenLab? Do you need information on the hardware and software? The University of Münster provides a tutorial in the Learnweb environment. It offers short videos. These videos introduce the OpenLab. They explain the hardware. They give a general briefing about using the OpenLab. The tutorial is available in both German and English.
To access the tutorial, send an email to openlab@wwu.de. Use the subject line “Request OpenLab tutorial”. In the message include your full name and your WWU user ID. Also include a short explanation of your request. State whether you need the German or English version. Non-WWU members can also request access. They need to provide a more detailed explanation.
The OpenLab actively engages in various projects. It also hosts LabTalks and other events. These provide opportunities to learn about the lab’s equipment. They let you discover current projects. Now you know what happens at Bewegungslabor OpenLab. It is a hub for understanding how we move.
