Teaching/Theses

How do humans perceive and interact with the visual world? How do observers prioritize some stimuli while others go unnoticed? Which mechanisms allow organisms to learn and exploit regularities in the visual environment to guide attention efficiently? To address these and similar questions, we apply techniques such as motion-tracking (Motor Lab), eye-tracking (Gaze Lab), and EEG measurements (EEG Labs). If you are interested in working on one of our research topics (find more details on our research page), e.g., as a Bachelor or Master’s thesis, or as a research internship, you can find further information and a list of potential topics below.

 During your thesis you will:

• acquire skills in planning and conducting an experiment in one of our research projects
• work in close cooperation with your supervisor to discuss the theoretical background and to develop a research question
• be introduced to our laboratories, equipment, and analysis methods
• conduct an experiment, analyze and evaluate the results
• receive advice and support throughout all stages of your thesis

We offer topics in the following research areas for bachelor and master theses as well as for internships.

• Topics in “Determining priority in visual selection” [learn more]
• Topics in “Visual information sampling” [learn more]
• Topics in “Motor-planning and coordination in single and joint action” [learn more]
