I am a research scientist at the Department of Psychology, Justus-Liebig Giessen University.

I wonder what makes us different from robots. We’re intelligent biological animals with an immense imaginative perceptual capability. Machines match this intelligence on various isolated functions and I believe, soon, they reach our creative perception. That’s my research interest.

I work in this multidisciplinary domain of brains, minds and machines, aiming to answer how complex behaviour arises from neuronal activity. I compare the neural networks of two organisations: biological versus artificial.

My focus is visual information processing: oscillating in-between psychophysics of visual perception and computational modelling of vision
