To support students directly affected by the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine, we would like to offer two paid student internships. We have a variety of tasks ranging from simple ones, such as data collection, to work on more independent projects that fit into the context of the lab.We will try to make it as … Continue reading POSITIONS FILLED: Internships for students enrolled at Ukrainian universities

We are pleased to announce the release of a new book chapter entitled "Definition, Modeling, and Detection of Saccades in the Face of Post-saccadic Oscillations" written by Richard and Martin. The chapter has been published in the book "Eye Tracking: Background, Methods, and Applications" (Editor: Sam Stuart), by Springer Nature. Congratulations to Richard and Martin on … Continue reading New book chapter out: Definition, Modeling, and Detection of Saccades in the Face of Post-saccadic Oscillations

We are thrilled to announce the publication of Anna's new paper "A direct comparison of attentional orienting to spatial and temporal positions in visual working memory". Her findings illustrate the functional equivalence of space and time in VWM by demonstrating how spatial and temporal features may be used equally well to dynamically prioritize representations held … Continue reading A direct comparison of attentional orienting to spatial and temporal positions in visual working memory

We have a total of four positions available. Two of these positions will be working entirely at the … Continue reading Open student research assistant positions (SHK)

We are already one month into the new year, the semester is about to end, and we are preparing a series of new experiments. Time to look back for a moment. Adu, Kai and Yigit have finished their lab rotations with us and are moving on. Also Frederik is heading in a new direction and … Continue reading New ways emerging from and into the lab in 2020.

Our team is now complete for the upcoming semester. We warmly welcome Kai Standvoß, a PhD fellow of the Einstein Center Neurosciences, to his lab rotation and Yiğit Erigüç who will do an internship on intra-saccadic vision. And of course, welcome back Susie Bryan who is going to tackle her master's thesis.

A warm welcome to Adu Matory and Anna Melkonyan, who join us during their lab rotation. Both are studying at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience and we are very much looking forward to having them in the lab.

We say goodbye to Carlos. He was the first member of Martin's Emmy Noether group and since then worked mainly on learning in the oculomotor system. Carlos now joins the group of Simone Kühn at the Max Planck Institute in Berlin. We wish Carlos all the best for this next step. In addition, two of … Continue reading Busy summer: Say goodbye
