Overview

Hermann J. Müller is affiliated with Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany. Their research primarily focuses on the field of neuroscience, with a strong emphasis on cognitive neuroscience and experimental and cognitive psychology. Their work also extends to computer vision and pattern recognition, human-computer interaction, and psychiatry and mental health.

Their studies frequently address topics such as neural and behavioral psychology, visual perception and processing mechanisms, multisensory perception and integration, visual attention and saliency detection, neural dynamics and brain function, face recognition and perception, as well as gaze tracking and assistive technology.

Hermann J. Müller has contributed multiple publications to various scientific venues. Some of the main publication outlets include:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Visual Cognition
  • Journal of Vision
  • Attention Perception & Psychophysics
  • Psychological Science

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Müller include:

  • Post-capture processes contribute to statistical learning of distractor locations in visual search, 2020, Cortex
  • Terms of debate: Consensus definitions to guide the scientific discourse on visual distraction, 2024, Attention Perception & Psychophysics
