On Friday the 22nd of November Franziska Labrenz defended her PhD thesis entitled „May I capture your attention? A neurophysiological investigation into intrinsic and extrinsic determinants of visual selective attention.” Already her written thesis was impressive in the breadth of studies and methods Franziska applied to pursue her research question. In her defense she presented a marvelous talk about her main findings of the thesis, where she showed mastery in the topic of visual selective attention and important modulators of the mechanisms. It was a really impressive talk in a matchless “Franziska style”. It was a great time having you in the lab of the Emmy Noether Research group in Bochum.Congratulations Franziska!
