Overview

Stefan Van der Stigchel is affiliated with Utrecht University in the Netherlands and has contributed extensively to the field of neuroscience. Their research spans multiple subfields including cognitive neuroscience, experimental and cognitive psychology, social psychology, computer vision and pattern recognition, and human-computer interaction.

The primary focus of their work lies within neuroscience and cognitive neuroscience, with topics covering neural and behavioral psychology studies, visual perception and processing mechanisms, neural dynamics and brain function, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, spatial neglect and hemispheric dysfunction, gaze tracking and assistive technology, and multisensory perception and integration.

Stefan Van der Stigchel has published notable papers including:

  • Pupillometry as an integrated readout of distinct attentional networks (2022, Trends in Neurosciences)
  • Low-Level Visual Information Is Maintained across Saccades, Allowing for a Postsaccadic Handoff between Visual Areas (2020, Journal of Neuroscience)
  • An embodied account of visual working memory (2020, Visual Cognition)
  • When the central integrator disintegrates: A review of the role of the thalamus in cognition and dementia (2023, Alzheimer's & Dementia)
  • Attention rhythmically samples multi-feature objects in working memory (2022, Scientific Reports)

Frequently collaborating researchers include Christoph Strauch, Surya Gayet, Marnix Naber, Chris Paffen, and Tanja C.W. Nijboer.

Their work has been published often in venues such as the Journal of Vision, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Scientific Reports, Cortex, and the Journal of Neuroscience.
