The research group "Visual Cognition" is led by Prof. Dirk Kerzel.

Research fields

Object localisation

Compensation for eye movements; mislocalization of a moving object relative to a stationary object.

Relation between attention, perception and eye movements

Effects of distractors on (a) the quality of smooth pursuit eye movements (b) saccadic latencies, attention during smooth pursuit, effects of attention on perceptual accuracy.

Effects of stimulus-response compatibility

Effects of incompatible stimuli on the execution of pointing movements, effects of emotional distractors on the trajectories of hand movements.
