Back from ECVP2026 after a wonderful few days of inspiring science, meaningful conversations, and great connections! ✨
VSS2026 delivered: exciting research, great conversations, and lots of fun. 👁️🏖️
If you are interested in our studies presented at @VSSMtg, you can find our posters here: drive.google.com/drive/folde…
For relevant preprints, please visit: danielkaiser.net/publication…
Kaiser Lab is at @VSSMtg with 6 posters and 3 talks! 👁️🏖️🌞 Come check out our works!
2 days left to apply! :)
10 PhD positions at JLU Giessen in the new Research Training Group "PIMON"! We will explore how humans perceive and interact with materials and objects in natural environments.
More information on the project, the PIs, and how to apply here: uni-giessen.de/de/ueber-uns/…

We’re happy to announce that Gongting Wang has successfully defended his PhD thesis at Freie Universität Berlin. Congratulations, Dr. Wang! 🎉
We had the pleasure of hosting Olivier Collignon, a wonderful scientist working on crossmodal perception and plasticity. Thank you your talk and taking the time to discuss ongoing projects with the lab!

🚨 New preprints out!🚨
Excited to share two new preprints from my #MSCA project. With @DKaiserlab , @MariusPeelen , and Belma Seferovic, we show how contextual associations shape real-world object representations and guide everyday visual task performance. Check them out👇
Check out @EngeserMicha's preprint on individual differences in expectations about natural scenes and how they shape how we perceive and neurally represent scenes. 👁️🧠👨🦱👩🦰👩🦳
I’m excited to share the first preprint from my PhD project!
Together with Daniel Kaiser (@DKaiserlab), we investigated how internal models shape inter-individual differences in the perception and neural processing of natural scenes.

Super happy to announce that our Research Training Group "PIMON" is funded by the DFG! Starting in October, we will have exciting opportunities for PhD students that want to explore object and material perception & interaction in Gießen! Just look at this amazing team! 🧠👁️🫴
Here's a press release (in German): uni-giessen.de/de/ueber-uns/…
And here's tagging some of the great people involved: @KathaDobs @martin_hebart @haplabjlu @B_vanKemenade @MariusPeelen

From line drawings to scene perception — our new review argues for moving beyond experimenter-driven manipulations toward participant-driven approaches to reveal what’s in our internal models of the visual world. 👁️✍️🛋
