PsyLab
In our research lab, we conduct experiments on perception and attention with human participants.
The experiments are PC-based. Participants for instance judge the temporal order or other perceptual features of simple visual stimuli. We pay them 8 €/hour for participation.
Unfortunatel, paid participation is currently not possible!
You find the lab in room H4.238. During opening hours, you will usually find a researcher or student assistant there. They are happy to answer your questions.
The PsyLab is also on radio broadcast (in German only). Here, PhD student Jan Tünnermann is interviewed by Martin Ott and Dean Ruddock, and here you will find a report by student participant Katharina Bette.
