Current and recent projects

Evoked and event-related potentials

• Objective assessment of visual function (acuity VEP, ERP-based 'cognitive' acuity estimation (with Dominik Mell, Isabel Willigmann, and others).
• Attentional modulation of event-related potentials (with David Marhöfer and Evelyn Friedel).
• Methodological issues, e.g., with P300

Psychophysics

• Perceptual and cognitive factors in acuity testing (with Kirsten Wiedner and Sündüs Bölükbasi).
• Testing of near vision (with Christoph Reichel).
• Computational models of visual impairments (simulations and psychophysical validation, with Anne Dehnert).
• Signal detection theory, motivation, and personality in forced-choice situations.
• Quality measures of perception and imaging.

External cooperations

• Stephanie Jainta, Dortmund (Eye movements with blurred text).
• Styrmir Saevarsson, Munich (P300 in neglect).
