DOI: 10.1007/s00221-017-4912-9
Abstract: The sense of how we experience our physical body as our own represents a fundamental component of human self-awareness. Body ownership can be studied with bodily illusions which are generated by inducing a visuo-tactile conflict… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-018-5168-8
Abstract: The effects of left and right alignment on the Ebbinghaus illusion were investigated in three experiments. In Experiment 1, the Ebbinghaus illusion was presented on the left or right side, and the points of subjective… read more here.

New evidence for the sensorimotor mismatch theory of weight perception and the size-weight illusion

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-024-06849-0
Abstract: The size-weight illusion is a phenomenon where a smaller object is perceived heavier than an equally weighted larger object. The sensorimotor mismatch theory proposed that this illusion occurs because of a mismatch between efferent motor… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-025-07158-w
Abstract: Postdiction is a perceptual phenomenon where the perception of an earlier stimulus is influenced by a later one. This effect is commonly studied using the ‘rabbit illusion’, in which temporally regular, but spatially irregular, stimuli… read more here.

Persistence of repeated self-reported illusion of control as a product of action and outcome association in productive and preventive scenarios

DOI: 10.1007/s00426-019-01147-9
Abstract: Individuals interpret themselves as causal agents when executing an action to achieve an outcome, even when action and outcome are independent. How can illusion of control be managed? Once established, does it decay? This study… read more here.

The Effect of Skeuomorphic Digital Interfaces on the Illusion of Control over Gambling Outcomes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Gambling Studies"
DOI: 10.1007/s10899-020-09961-2
Abstract: The current research focuses on how the use of “skeuomorphs” in digital design interacts with an illusion of control to influence gambling behavior. Skeuomorphism is a design concept in which an aspect of a modern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11002-018-9473-6
Abstract: Exaggerated portion sizes are generally pictured on the front of product packaging in order to stimulate food craving and encourage consumer purchasing decisions. However, one problem with such images is that they can set inappropriate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13347-025-00893-6
Abstract: We investigate the ‘bewitchment’ of understanding interactions between humans and systems based on large language models (LLMs) inspired by Wittgenstein’s later view on language. This framework is particularly apt for analyzing human-LLM interaction as it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2020.103028
Abstract: Many researchers have proposed that when an individual observes the actions of another individual, the observer simulates the action using many of the same neural areas that are involved in action production. The present study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cej.2017.04.094
Abstract: Abstract The efficiency and, accordingly, the success of the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has generally been evaluated on the basis of degradation kinetics. In practice, chloride in saline wastewater is often found to inhibit degradation… read more here.

Abstract: Darwin argued that females' "taste for the beautiful" drives the evolution of male extravagance,1 but sexual selection theory also predicts that extravagant ornaments can arise from sexual conflict and deception.2,3 The sensory trap hypothesis posits… read more here.
