Cas Ludwig, our collaborator from the School of Psychological Science at the University of Bristol spent time the last six months in Berlin working with out lab and Ralf Engbert’s group at the University of Potsdam. He has been a long-standing visitor of Berlin since 2018when he began working with both groups. His research while in Berlin … Continue reading Casimir Ludwig concludes his visit with talk: “Grounding cognitive model parameters”

Jan gave a talk at the “Action and Time Perception” symposium held in Hildesheim as a part of DGPs. He gave a talk about his research titled “Effect Binding for Undetected Spontaneous Micromovements.” Here, he showed that effect binding may be possible in the absence of voluntary control and may be involved in the awareness … Continue reading DGPs (Deutschen Gesellschaft für Psychologie) Conference 2022

We are happy to announce that Sven recently presented his talk "What the variations in saccade metrics and visual memory across the visual field tell about saccadic selection in visual working memory" at the European Conference on Eye Movements (ECEM) and was awarded one of the SR Research Early Career Award for the best talk … Continue reading ECEM-  Sven Ohl was awarded an SR Research Early Career Award for the best talk

The advanced publication of Anna’s new paper in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition is now available. Here, it was shown that ordinal and relational transformations in the spatial or temporal structure of object configurations impair memory performance, whereas global transformations do not. Therefore, inter item relations such as the distances between … Continue reading Anna’s new paper: Temporal and Spatial Reference Frames in Visual Working Memory Are Defined by Ordinal and Relational Properties

Several members of our lab attended the recent European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP) and presented posters and talks on their research. Olga Shurygina and Nicholas Roth began by holding a tutorial on "Eye movements recording, analysis and modeling”. Olga then presented her poster "Saccade kinematics reflect object-based attention in realistic but not in simplified … Continue reading ECVP 2022
