Alexander Goettker

Alexander Goettker is a postdoctoral researcher at Justus Liebig University Giessen, focusing on oculomotor control, perceptual judgment, and sensorimotor integration. His work bridges basic research on eye movements with applied studies in VR/AR display optimization.

• Current role: Postdoctoral Researcher at Justus Liebig University Giessen
• Key collaborations: Professor Karl Gegenfurtner's lab

Research interests include predictive eye movements in naturalistic scenes, serial dependence effects in motor tasks, and the influence of contextual cues on oculomotor behavior. He explores how retinal signals and internal models interact to enable stable perception during eye movements.

Recent trends in publications emphasize individual differences in sensorimotor processing, the role of naturalistic stimuli in vision science, and the trade-offs between perceptual and oculomotor artifacts in head-mounted displays. His work also investigates eye-hand coordination and the impact of display duty cycles on visual tracking accuracy.

Labs and teams include collaborations with Professor Karl Gegenfurtner's lab, leveraging interdisciplinary approaches to study eye movements in ecological contexts and their implications for VR/AR technology.
