New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Janna Teigeler, Yannik Stegmann and Matthias Gamer: Acting upon threat: Electrocortical, autonomic, and oculomotor responses in anticipation of avoidable and inevitable threats doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

🚨 Come work with us! A 3-year postdoc position is available in my group, focusing on gaze interactions in real and virtual environments. The job ad is only in German, since a certain level of German proficiency is required. Please share widely! @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social

Exciting news! Our latest paper is now published 🎉 We dive into the fear generalization literature to see how individual fear gen profiles are typically quantified, extracted the most commonly used measures, and compared them using simulated and empirical data: doi.org/10.1016/j.bp...

Psychometric Considerations in Assessing Fear Generalization as a Predictor of Anxiety

The ability to adaptively transfer acquired fear to novel situations is fundamental for survival in ever-changing environments and may contribute to t…

📢 New Preprint: Acting upon Threat osf.io/r8a5n Together with @yannikstegmann.bsky.social & @gamerlab.bsky.social, we used EEG, eye-tracking, and autonomic data to disentangle threat intensity ⚡️ from action possibility 🏃‍♂️ in states of attentive immobility.

@jannateigeler.bsky.social opening PuG2025 symposia 🚀 presenting our gaze-based approach-avoidance task #AAT 👀 Turns out it’s actually hard to transfer traditional AAT paradigms to #eye-tracking. Attention is likely influenced by additional factors like salience and arousal🔥

🚨 Preprint Alert🚨 doi.org/10.31234/osf... Fear generalization😱 depends on attention 👀towards diagnostic stimulus aspects🧐 - now replicated in a sample with diverse levels of social anxiety🧑‍🤝‍🧑(N = 87). Implications for therapy🛋️! Thx to @gamerlab.bsky.social and @jannateigeler.bsky.social !

🎉 Very proud to share my first published PhD paper 🎊 With @gamerlab.bsky.social, @jannateigeler.bsky.social and the amazing bachelor students Kaja Kümpel and Madita Schindler, we investigated how trait social anxiety influences social attention in naturalistic situations 🌳🏡 doi.org/10.1080/1061...

The effect of social anxiety on social attention in naturalistic situations

This multimodal two-phase study investigated the impact of trait social anxiety on exploration, social attention, and autonomic responses in a naturalistic setting. We expected higher avoidance of ...

📣 New paper alert! Together with @jannateigeler.bsky.social, Arash Mirifar, @akeil1927.bsky.social, and @gamerlab.bsky.social we looked at correlates of attentive immobility during the anticipation of avoidable vs unavoidable threats in two samples from Germany and the US. doi.org/10.1523/JNEU...

Electrocortical Responses in Anticipation of Avoidable and Inevitable Threats: A Multisite Study

When faced with danger, human beings respond with a repertoire of defensive behaviors, including freezing and active avoidance. Previous research has revealed a pattern of physiological responses, cha...
