Pollmann has published numerous papers, including recent contributions such as:

  • "Anomalous visual experience is linked to perceptual uncertainty and visual imagery vividness" (2020) in Psychological Research
  • "The interactive effects of reward expectation and emotional interference on cognitive conflict control: An ERP study" (2021) in Physiology & Behavior
  • "Working memory and active sampling of the environment: Medial temporal contributions" (2022) in Handbook of Clinical Neurology
  • "Frontopolar activity carries feature information of novel stimuli during unconscious reweighting of selective attention" (2022) in Cortex
  • "Contextual-Cueing beyond the Initial Field of View-A Virtual Reality Experiment" (2020) in Brain Sciences

Pollmann frequently collaborates with co-authors Lasse Güldener, Nico Marek, Natalia Melnik, Lei Zheng, and Franziska Geringswald. Their research outputs have appeared in various publication venues, with a higher concentration in:

  • Journal of Vision
  • Brain Sciences
  • Translational Vision Science & Technology
  • Neuropsychologia
  • Frontiers in Cognition

In addition to journal articles, Pollmann has contributed to book publications, including a chapter in the volume Spatial Learning and Attention Guidance (2020), published by Humana Press.
