Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Butz is a Professor for Cognitive Modeling at the University of Tübingen with over a decade of experience at the intersection of computer science, cognitive psychology, and cognitive science. His research blends machine learning, predictive processing (free energy principle), and sensorimotor-grounded cognition to study anticipatory behavior, peripersonal space, and event-predictive cognition using tools like eye tracking and virtual reality. Trained with a PhD from UIUC and a Habilitation in Computer Science, he bridges rigorous computational modeling and experimental work. Outside academia he explores live coding and musical performance (Sonic Pi, Tidal Cycles, Monome), reflecting an unconventional hands-on approach to real-time systems and creativity that informs his research on temporal prediction and embodied cognition.
