Specification of Multiple Processes in Metacontrast Masking
(2024-09-13)Metacontrast masking has been widely used as a tool to study visual perception, but there is still no comprehensive theory of the phenomenon. There is no lack of theories, but a synthesis of the different approaches seems ... -
The Role of Low-Level Visual Features in the Emotional and Motivational Relevance of Symbolic Stimuli
(2024-07-16)In our daily lives, we encounter a wide range of visual stimuli, but printed words are critical for communication and information acquisition. Emotional words receive preferential attention, resulting in modulations of ... -
Inter-and Intraindividual Variation in Emotion Recognition: Investigating the Role of the Ovulatory Cycle, Sex, and Personality
(2023-09-18)Previous research has shown that emotion recognition varies within and between individuals, influenced by physiological and psychological factors such as hormones, biological sex, and dispositional traits. However, ... -
Animal welfare from the animal’s perspective: Tapping into their psychological experiences
(2023-07-13)The primary goal of animal welfare science is to make an accurate assessment of an animal’s well-being at a given time. To facilitate this goal, animal welfare and severity assessments were developed to integrate information ... -
Learning and Retrieval of Crossmodally Associated Valence in Face Perception
(2023-04-18)How someone’s face is perceived is not only influenced by their facial expression but also largely by the situational context as well as by previous experiences with that person. Although emotional expressions of faces and ... -
Unmasking the perception of temporal successions
(2023-03-02)Temporal and masking research share theoretical, methodological and empirical similarities indicating that they might investigate a similar aspect of our neural functioning. Nevertheless, temporal and masking mechanisms ... -
It's moral: judgments in everyday life
(2022-03-16)Moral judgments play a major role in everyday social interactions. Due to their relevance for human cognition and behavior, they have been a central object of research for centuries. However, previous studies rarely ... -
Novel insights into speech production networks of adults with developmental stuttering as revealed by analyses of speech intention, syllable frequency, and long-term therapy effects
(2021-02-25)Stuttering leads to involuntary disruptions of the speech flow. Stuttering is thought to emerge due to impaired speech planning, initiation, sensorimotor integration or inhibition of speech segments. Previous research has ... -
Optimization of temporal parameters of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to improve its efficacy
(2020-08-03)This thesis focused on the effects of changing temporal organization of rTMS whether within the protocol by examining the effects of inter train intervals on the efficacy of rTMS protocols in the first paper (Halawa et al. ... -
Dynamics and fitness benefits of male-male sociality in wild Guinea baboons (Papio papio)
(2020-03-06)Males living in multi-male groups display a wide range of relationships with co-resident males, varying from high levels of competition, intolerance and avoidance to cooperation, affiliation and social bonds. Despite the ... -
Visual Misperceptions and Behavioral Variability in Parkinson’s Disease
(2020-01-31)The objective of this thesis are visual misperceptions and behavioral variability, their neural correlates and their potential for differential diagnosis of non-motor symptoms profiles in Parkinson’s disease (PD). This ... -
Longitudinal structural and functional brain changes associated with stuttering improvement by therapy or brain lesion
(2019-06-11)Stuttering is a speech fluency disorder which is affecting motor speech production and communication in the daily life of persons who stutter (PWS). The involuntarily occurring core symptoms of stuttering are sound and ... -
Emotion recognition from expressions in voice and face – Behavioral and Endocrinological evidence –
(2019-06-07)Emotion recognition is a key component of human social cognition and is considered vital for many domains of life. Studies measuring this ability have documented that performance accuracy in emotion recognition tasks is ... -
Dissociating Inherent Emotional and Associated Motivational Salience in Human Face Processing
(2018-05-30)The human brain is challenged to select only the most relevant stimuli, assured by salienceand goal-driven attention mechanisms. As not only stimuli carrying inherent salience (e.g., facial expressions of emotion), but ... -
Intra- and Intersexual Selection on Men: Their Relative Importance and Hormonal Underpinnings
(2018-01-26)Male competition is an important influence on the distribution of resources, such as mates, food or territory, and has been shown to be more strongly implicated, compared to female mate choice, in sexual selection on men. ... -
Secular changes in sexual and natural selection against deleterious genetic mutations in humans
(2017-12-20)All genetic variation once arose by mutation. Genetic variation is the substance on which natural selection can act, but mutations are random. Therefore, new variations usually have negative or no effects on an organism’s ... -
The Influence of Emotional Content on Event-Related Brain Potentials during Spoken Word Processing
(2017-02-23)In our everyday lives, language is an indispensable tool for communication and for the establishment and preservation of social interactions. Language can be divided in two different modalities, namely the auditory and ... -
The impact of vocal expressions on the understanding of affective states in others
(2015-03-17)Understanding emotions of social partners is of fundamental importance in day-to-day life. Humans share their affective states and intentions not only by language, but also by facial expressions, body posture or tone of ...
