To interact with our environment (e.g. to catch a ball) we need to have our hands at the right time at the right place and ready to interact with an object. Although we are used to take this for granted (how often do you think about the position of your hands?), much is unknown about how we know where our hands are in dynamic interactions. In the research proposed here, we expand the knowledge on static position sense of the hand to dynamic position sense by studying position sense during movements. Furthermore, the aspect of preparations in timing and forces to interact with an object is to be studied. How and when do people prepare for interaction with the objects? Combining these two aspects leads to a very interesting project in which we can determine spatial and temporal control of our hands while interacting with objects around us during movements.

As a medieval invention, the art of printing had a great influence on spirituality and visual culture at the end of the Middle Ages. Research into the texts (how did printers (or their collaborators) edit texts?), the presentation of the texts (layout and illustrations) and traces of readers (e.g. notes) shows that printed books offered a platform for new texts as well as new versions of popular texts. The printed book offered readers the space to adapt it to their personal wishes and, if desired, to combine it with handwritten texts, leading to a symbiosis between handwritten and printed books.
