Selected Publications by Research Areas

Ophthalmology

We investigate the impacts of eye diseases on retinal structure and visual function and develop novel diagnostic and prognostic methods.

Display technology in vision science

Which problems may occur when vision scientists need to present stimuli on display devices? We analyze display devices like CRTs or LCDs for their applicability in medical and psychological research.

We deal with methodological aspects of psychophysics like sampling of data, data analysis, or psychophysical software.

Temporal aspects of visual processing

The time course of visual perception differs from the temporal occurrence of events in the physical world and bears fascinating surprises. We investigate perceptual timing by methods of psychophysics.

Face recognition

In order to get a better understanding of human face recognition, we investigate deficits in facial processing such as congenital prospagnosia (the life long inability to recognize faces) or the other race effect (impairment of face recognition for other race faces).
