Alexander Schuetz

Prof. Dr. Alexander Schütz is a faculty member at the Faculty of Psychology, Philipps-Universität Marburg, leading the Sensorimotor Learning research group. His work explores the interplay between eye movements and visual perception, focusing on trans-saccadic integration, dynamic signal integration, and perceptual stability.

• Academic Affiliation: Department of General and Biological Psychology
• Key Collaborators: Karl Gegenfurtner, David Souto, Miriam Spering

Research Interests

• Integration of bottom-up salience and top-down value signals in eye movement control
• Trans-saccadic information calibration and perceptual adaptation
• Individual differences in multistable perception and motor learning

His 2024-2025 publications reveal trends in:

• Visual processing in rod vision and occlusion
• Optical flow models for eye movement prediction
• Neural mechanisms of cost-benefit trade-offs in visual search
• Perceptual biases in autism-psychosis spectra
• Visuotactile integration during spatial judgments

Grants

• ERC Starting Grant PERFORM (2015-2020): Calibration of peripheral and foveal vision
• ERC Consolidator Grant SENCES (2021-2025): Processing of inferred vs. sensory visual information

Laboratory Equipment: EyeLink 1000+ eye trackers, ViewPixx stereoscope, ProPixx projector, and Vizard VR platform for behavioral studies.
