Dr Karin Pilz

Position: Lecturer

Interests:

My main research focus is on the processing of visual information. Research topics include face and object recognition, visual attention, and especially, visual motion processing. I am particularly interested in investigating the mechanisms underlying the integration of form and motion information both on the level of low-level motion detectors, as well as on higher cognitive levels such as in dynamic face recognition and point-light walker discrimination.

In addition to studying visual perception in young adults, I also aims at understanding the mechanisms underlying visual processing in healthy ageing.

My research combines psychophysical techniques, as well as functional neuroimaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG).
