Loes started her career in vision science by investigating the role of eye movements in binocular rivalry and other forms of bistable visual perception. From there she moved to study the more general interactions between action and perception, including pointing and reaching tasks, as well as multisensory processing. Techniques that she uses are: psychophysics, eye tracking, virtual reality, force feedback devices etc.
During her career Loes has worked in several prominent research groups at places such as Utrecht University (Physics of Man) in the Netherlands, the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Germany and Bielefeld University in Germany. She is now establishing her own group at the University of Essex in the UK.
