Update: The paper is now out and available here: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.78106 This is the key paper of Lisa’s PhD. While decades of research have characterized pre-saccadic sensitivity modulations at the target of eye movements, little is known about the concurrent development of visual sensitivity in the pre-saccadic center of gaze. In a series of experiments, we … Continue reading In Press: Foveal vision anticipates defining features of eye movement targets
ECEM- Sven Ohl was awarded an SR Research Early Career Award for the best talk
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
Anna’s new paper: Temporal and Spatial Reference Frames in Visual Working Memory Are Defined by Ordinal and Relational Properties
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

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
