About
Jeroen B. J. Smeets is a leading figure in the field of human movement neuroscience and haptic perception, with a particular focus on how the brain controls action and perceives physical properties through touch. His research bridges experimental psychology, biomechanics, and robotics, exploring how delays and sensory feedback shape our interactions with the world. A notable contribution is his work on admittance-controlled haptic devices, where he demonstrated that even minimal system delays cause users to perceive simulated objects as heavier than intended—a finding with direct implications for the design of surgical simulators and virtual reality interfaces. While this specific paper has garnered 6 citations, Smeets’ broader body of work, including influential studies on grasping, visual perception, and motor control, has accumulated thousands of citations, reflecting his lasting impact on the field. His rigorous experimental approach has helped unravel the computational principles underlying human dexterity and sensory integration, making his research essential reading for students and scholars in motor control, haptics, and human–machine interaction.
