Our lab participated in this year’s CIN-NIPS symposium, which took place right here in Tübingen.
The NIPS is the National Institute for Physiological Sciences in Okazaki, Japan, and our institute has been cooperating with them for the last 8 years. We held annual conferences, alternating between Japan and Germany, during which we shared experiences on the latest and greatest advances in systems neuroscience research at both institutes. This year’s symposium also featured guests from other parts of Japan, like Kyoto University
At the meeting, our lab presented one oral presentation and several poster presentations, on topics ranging from human visual perception all the way to oculomotor control, and using techniques ranging from human psychophysics to electrophysiology.
Our lab has, in particular, made interesting use of these annual visits to establish a long standing collaboration with Masatoshi Yoshida and Tadashi Isa.
We hope that the interactions with our Japanese colleagues will continue and strengthen even more in the near future!
