Biography

I am a researcher at the Institute of Psychology, Czech Academy of Sciences. I am primarily focused on research on visual memory and visual attention. I use behavioral experiments, deep neural networks, and eye tracking. Moreover, I love open science and statistics in general.

Bachelor/Master theses:

In general, I am interested in visual memory and attention. Students unafraid of seeing computer code or statistics (you do not need to be able to code!) are more than welcome.

Besides that, I have these topics currently available:

  • Memory for graphs in RSVP - which features are used when perceiving statistical graphs for brief moments?
  • Massive spatial visual memory - we can remember a large number of pictures. What other characteristics can we store about them?
  • Memory for repeating eye movements - can we recognize our own eye movements?
  • Validation of test measuring visual literacy - there is a test for measuring visualization literacy. The Czech version is more then welcomed.
  • Resuming questionnaires - when we measure construct using standard tools, do we measure the same thing if we measure it in parts?
  • Typicality and memory: Dollar Street - what are cultural differences in memorizing typical rooms
