Dr Christoph Witzel

Lectureship in Psychology (Percptn Cog)

Research interests

  • My main technical expertise is colour psychophysics and behavioural experiments.The main focus of my work has been the role of language and experience in colour perception.More broadly, I am interested in how culture and experience shape automatic assumptions to form our subjective reality.See also "About", and for recent developments and PhD opportunities, see Lab Website.

Dr Denis Drieghe

Associate Professor

Research interests

  • My research can be situated in the field of eye movements during reading.
  • One of my main research lines has been related to parafoveal processing: How accurate is parafoveal processing, and how does it influence the decision whether to skip the next word or not; How does it relate to foveal processing (i.e. simultaneous or only after foveal processing has been concluded). Additionally, my research has examined reading in multiple languages (English, Dutch, Finnish, Chinese, Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese), and has directly compared reading in different languages both between native speakers and within bilinguals. Recent projects involved looking at task effects during reading (e.g. reading for comprehension versus skimming) and individual differences in reading (e.g. spelling skills and reading ability).
  • Besides these topics, I'm also interested in a wide range of phenomena, all dealing with either eye movements in reading or the processing of words in general.
