Sven Panis

Dr. Sven Panis is a Researcher affiliated with the Professorship for Neural Control of Movement at ETH Zurich's Department of Health Sciences and Technology (D-HEST). His work focuses on cognitive processes, visual perception, and response time dynamics, employing advanced statistical methods like event history analysis. He investigates topics such as global/local processing, inhibition of return, and attentional mechanisms in spatial and temporal contexts.

Key research interests include understanding how perceptual and cognitive processes interact over time, with applications to neuropsychological disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD). His methodological contributions span Bayesian and frequentist frameworks for analyzing time-to-event data in behavioral experiments.

Panis has published extensively on visual search, motor activation dynamics, and object recognition, emphasizing temporal resolution in cognitive tasks. His findings challenge traditional reliance on mean response times, advocating for nuanced analyses of behavioral and neural processes.
