🚨 Come work with us! A 3-year postdoc position is available in my group, focusing on gaze interactions in real and virtual environments. The job ad is only in German, since a certain level of German proficiency is required. Please share widely! @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social

I might be biased, but what an inspiring #VR symposium at #PuG25 🤩
This field still develops so fast 🚀as showcased by the integration of neurophysiology, multi-user settings and clinical application.
Thanks to @martandreatta.bsky.social, @leonkroczek.bsky.social, @michaelgaebler.com and Marius Rubo!

@jannateigeler.bsky.social opening PuG2025 symposia 🚀 presenting our gaze-based approach-avoidance task #AAT 👀
Turns out it’s actually hard to transfer traditional AAT paradigms to #eye-tracking. Attention is likely influenced by additional factors like salience and arousal🔥
First round of symposia

🚨 New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times less accurate than humans.

Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.

🎉 Very proud to share my first published PhD paper 🎊
With @gamerlab.bsky.social, @jannateigeler.bsky.social and the amazing bachelor students Kaja Kümpel and Madita Schindler, we investigated how trait social anxiety influences social attention in naturalistic situations 🌳🏡

The effect of social anxiety on social attention in naturalistic situations
This multimodal two-phase study investigated the impact of trait social anxiety on exploration, social attention, and autonomic responses in a naturalistic setting. We expected higher avoidance of ...
