Our psychophysical experiments need precise stimuli, which are presented through monitors or projectors. These need to be calibrated at first. We could show, that among others, temperature does play a major role in calibration. To diminish this influence, some monitor's and projector's temperature dependencies will be evaluated.
We use specialized software (Psychopy) to supply high resolution stimuli. For measurements, we use precision devices (photometer, spectrometer, luminance camera), and for evaluation statistical methods (probability distributions, Gaussian processes for model fitting).
If you enjoy precision measurements, practical Python programming, and applied statistical methods, then please apply for a master thesis (starting right now, summer 2024 the latest) with Dr. Uli Wannek.
