Very much looking forward to this great conference!

Very proud of the team of the SciComm-Café, including some of the RTG's PhD researchers, for winning the university of Würzburg's Communicator Award!! 🥳🥳🥳Such a great initiative!

Ich war Gast in einem Spiegel Podcast zum Thema Lügen. War ein sehr nettes Gespräch! www.spiegel.de/psychologie/...

Excited to be part of this amazing group of researchers!

We're extremely happy and proud to announce that the RTG 2660 will be extended for a 2nd funding period of 4.5 years! 🥳https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-events/news/detail/news/rtgs-11-2025/

New preprint! We show that avoidable threats induce attentive immobility, i.e. alpha suppression, bradycardia, pupil dilation, and centralized gaze, that enhances perception. Memory encoding, however, relies on separate electrocortical and physiological responses. osf.io/preprints/ps...

🚨 Come work with us! A 3-year postdoc position is available in my group, focusing on gaze interactions in real and virtual environments. The job ad is only in German, since a certain level of German proficiency is required. Please share widely! @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social

We are very proud of our researchers Beatrice Baragli, Jerome Beetz, Jacqueline Degen, Mona Garvert, Jake Greenfield, and Jens Hör: They have been awarded prestigious ERC Starting Grants worth €1.5 million. Congratulations! @erc.europa.eu #ERCStG ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-...

Very happy that this is out now!

Exciting news! Our latest paper is now published 🎉 We dive into the fear generalization literature to see how individual fear gen profiles are typically quantified, extracted the most commonly used measures, and compared them using simulated and empirical data: doi.org/10.1016/j.bp...

Submit your work until August 15, 2025, and join me!

Hallo #CPConf2025, Poster 3.7! Excited to share our fMRI study on #approach-avoidance conflict at this amazing conference. Avoid something you want, or approach something you fear? 😧😲🙈 Come see how the our brain resolves these motivational dilemmas!🧠👁️💃

📢 New Preprint: Acting upon Threat osf.io/r8a5n Together with @yannikstegmann.bsky.social & @gamerlab.bsky.social, we used EEG, eye-tracking, and autonomic data to disentangle threat intensity ⚡️ from action possibility 🏃‍♂️ in states of attentive immobility.

🚨Our latest paper is now out in @imagingneurosci.bsky.social: We show how aversive generalization and contexts interact at electrocortical levels, demonstrating modulations of cues and contexts into different frequencies of the ssVEP. With @gamerlab.bsky.social! Check it out: doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Yannik Stegmann and Matthias Gamer: The impact of inherently aversive contexts on visuocortical processing of generalized threat doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

Truly proud to receive this award! Huge thanks to my amazing PhD students and colleagues — working with you all is the real reward 😉

Very glad to share my first published PhD paper onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... We provide evidence of the behavioral/cognitive costs of overcoming automatic approach-avoidance responses triggered by affective stimuli. Huge thanks to my supervisors @gamerlab.bsky.social and @Andre Pittig

🎉 Exciting news! Our Stage 1 Registered Report on the Coherence of Gamma-Band EEG Activity as a Basis for Associative Threat Learning has been accepted at Nature Human Behaviour! You can read the uploaded protocol here: doi.org/10.6084/m9.f... Stay tuned for Stage 2! 🧠

WOW, what a journey! Finally, our new paper is published in the Journal of Personality Assessment! 🥳 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

@yannikstegmann.bsky.social receiving the early career award of the German Society of Psychophysiology and its Application. Very well deserved. Congrats!!! #pug2025

Final talk of the IGOR Symposium at #PuG2025 by @mreutter.bsky.social @mklingelhoeferj.bsky.social. Wondering how we are doing in terms of open science in biopsychology? What comes to mind when thinking of open science? What are benefits and costs? Look how the audience replied to our polls! 📊

Our symposium starts in 30 min in room 0.001. Looking forward to seeing you there #pug2025

Hey #PuG2025! I am excited to present my research on the role of midbrain PAG in the resolution of human approach-avoidance conflict resolution. If that sounds interesting to you, drop by my poster #79 (Room 2.007)!

Great poster from the lab #pug2025 now: A25 @lindawk.bsky.social comparing eye-tracking in mouse-tracking methods in assessing social attention
