Research interests

Evoked and event-related potentials

  • Objective assessment of visual function
  • Attentional modulation of event-related potentials
  • Methodological issues, e.g., in signal analysis

 

Psychophysics

  • Perceptual and cognitive factors in testing of visual function
  • Quantification of subjective perceptual experience
  • Real-life relevance of measures of visual performance
  • Malingering-resistant testing of visual performance
  • Signal detection theory and decision making in forced-choice situations

 

Electroretinography

  • Applications in psychiatry
  • Stimulation-induced alternation of retinal function
  • Improved signal analysis

 

Eye movements and pupillometry

  • Using saccades to measure visual performance
