POSITIONS FILLED: Internships for students enrolled at Ukrainian universities
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
New Perspective paper in Nature Reviews Psychology
Our new Perspective paper discussing how incidental sensory consequences of motor behavior shape the coupling of perception to action has just appeared in Nature Reviews Neuroscience. We have written a detailed Twitter thread on it, which you can find here. Here's the reference a link to the pdf:Rolfs, M. & Schweitzer, R. (2022). Coupling perception … Continue reading New Perspective paper in Nature Reviews Psychology
Several student RA positions available (SHK)
We are looking for several motivated students who would like to become part of the lab as student research assistants (Studentische Hilfskraft, SHK), starting in April / May 2022 (duration: 2 years). We have a total of four positions available. One of these positions will be working entirely at the lab's main facilities at the … Continue reading Several student RA positions available (SHK)

Two dissertation awards for Richard Schweitzer
Richard Schweitzer defended his PhD thesis "Perceptual and Motor Consequences of Intra-saccadic Perception" in the lab on November 3, 2020 (see post here). We now received news from that his work has been awarded two dissertation prizes. The first award is the Humboldt-Prize 2021, an annual prize honoring excellent scientific work young scientists at Humboldt-Universität … Continue reading Two dissertation awards for Richard Schweitzer
In press: Oculomotor freezing indicates conscious detection free of decision bias
The same visual stimulus can sometimes reach awareness, while other times it does not. To understand why, we need objective, bias-free measures of awareness. We had previously discovered that a reflexive freezing of small eye movements indicates when an observer detects a stimulus (see White & Rolfs, 2016). In a new set of experiments that … Continue reading In press: Oculomotor freezing indicates conscious detection free of decision bias
Back from the lab’s 3rd retreat
We just got back from a fantastic lab retreat, which took place in a beautiful parsonage in northern Germany (Mecklenburg Vorpommern). We spent five days developing creative visual experiments and new projects, teaching and learning from each other, cooking delicious food, and we had a bike trip along the beautiful Baltic Sea! The amazing Miriam … Continue reading Back from the lab’s 3rd retreat
Press coverage on Science Advances paper
Our recent paper in Intra-saccadic motion streaks jump-start gaze correction (2021, Science Advances), revealing a possible functional role of intra-saccadic motion streaks received some peer commentary and media coverage. Here's a summary of that: Perspective in Science Advances: Fabius, J. H. & van der Stigchel, S. (2021). Vision while the eyes move: Getting the full … Continue reading Press coverage on Science Advances paper
A direct comparison of attentional orienting to spatial and temporal positions in visual working memory
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
