All cognitive processes are limited in their capacity to process information. They all require a mechanism that allows them to select information. In this project, we will develop and test a new theory of these basic cognitive selection mechanisms. Our new theorical framework will unify research across many disparate domains of cognitive science. The theory enables us to unify not only research on attention, memory, planning, and problem-solving, but also across psychological and neuroscientific domains.

The replicability crisis in cognitive psychology is a symptom of a more fundamental theory crisis in psychology. In this project we use formal methods from philosophy of science and Bayesian statistics to investigate what kind of theory is required to alleviate the replication crisis.

The human visual system is remarkable. It can single out objects quickly and monitor our surroundings. Yet, seeing changes between two mostly identical scenes is difficult and critical visual information is sometimes missed. In this project, we propose to use augmented reality (AR) to remedy these limitations. We will develop new experimental paradigms for measuring visual attention in AR and based on these develop AR systems to improve visual problemsolving.
