Our lab participated in this year’s sixth CIN-NIPS symposium here in Tuebingen. This symposium was part of a collaboration between our institute and the National Institute for Physiological Sciences in Japan.
Several members of our lab gave talks and posters, and the symposium provided a broad range of interesting presentations, sparking potential partnerships between our CIN labs and the Japanese counterparts.
After the symposium, we had the pleasure of hosting our long-term collaborator from NIPS, Prof. Masatoshi Yoshida. Masatoshi stayed on to work with us on ongoing projects and computer simulations that we had started, including investigations of microsaccades in blindsight patients. The collaboration is interesting because it allows us to continue our efforts to understand brain mechanisms for interactions between microsaccades and vision, perception, and attention.
