Methods

To achieve these goals, we perform research on the visual system using mainly psychophysical methods in normal observers.
Other methods established in the lab include (multi-channel) EEG recordings and visual evoked potentials (VEP), recordings of eye movements (CCD-eyetracker, video-based system, and search-coil system), computer simulations and modelling, as well as transcranial magnetic stimulation.

In recent years, we have devoted an increasing amount of time to the examination of patients suffering from disorders of visual perception caused by damage to the (visual) cortex.
The lab includes a complete ophthalmological and neuropsychological unit with autorefractor, slit lamp and automated as well as hand perimeters.
