I'm a PhD student in the research area Neurobiopsychology headed by Peter König and member of the DAAD supported doctorate programme at the Institute of Cognitive Science at the University of Osnabrück, Germany.

I studied Psychology with minor subject Information Science at the University of Konstanz, Germany. During this time, I spent one year at the Institute of Neuroinformatics in Zürich, Switzerland doing a practical and my diploma thesis.

My current research interests are visual and cross-modal attention under natural conditions, as well the temporal dynamics of these processes. The techniques employed to study these processes include psychophysics, eye-tracking and EEG. In order to simulate natural conditions in the lab, I use natural stimuli taken and presented using calibrated devices.

Check out this chameleon-like person:

Each pixel of the left image has the same intensity as the one on the right side (at least on the calibrated monitor in our lab),
only the colors are rotated by 90 degrees. 
We used this type of transformation in our project examining the influence of color and other stimulus features on eye-movements 
in natural images.
