Data and analysis for "Perceptual changes elicit transient bias" manuscript

How can an individual's decisions under uncertainty be altered so that the individual not only considers personal but also the social effects of the available alternatives? During the COVID19 pandemic the decision of parents to keep sick children at home, even with mild symptoms, is an example of a decision with personal and public effects. Parents have to consider the cost of taking a sick day and the social benefit of preventing possible infections. When facing this decision parents might not consider the negative social effect and therefore maximize personal outcomes. This poses the question which interventions alter decisions under uncertainty in order to maximize social welfare. Two general ways to increase the salience of effects on others can be distinguished: a focus on a specific individual or a focus on general social costs. The objective of the proposed project is to investigate the effectiveness of three interventions (general information about COVID-19, empathy induction through the focus on an individual and mental simulation of costs for others) to increase the likelihood that parents keep sick children at home (Phome).

Data and analysis for the study on switch rates in kinetic-depth effect and Necker cube displays.

Data and analysis for "Shape-specificity of neural persistence for kinetic-depth effect matches perceptual adaptation but not sensory memory" manuscript.

We examined the effect of social value orientation on the perception of self-protective value and public protective value of protective measures as well as the effect of both perceptions of protective value on behavior. We find that self-protective value is most important for behavior. A preprint sumarising the results can be found in the osf project.

Data and analysis for the "Add-on gamification makes a challenging psychophysical task more enjoyable, enticing participants to try harder" manuscript.

This library provides a simple interface to import contents of the EDF files generated by Eyelink eye-tracker into Matlab. It imports events and/or samples, automatically parsing them into separate trials. In addition to that, several post-processing functions can be used to extract selected events (fixations, saccades and blinks), variable values (TRIAL_VAR events) and microsaccades.
