Our lab participated in this year’s NeNa 2021 Annual Conference.
NeNa is a conference in Tübingen by and for junior neuroscientists. It allows all of our neuroscience graduate students to share their new results with their peers, and it also gives the students a chance to experience great keynote speeches by more experienced scientists from around the world.
From our lab, Anna presented exciting work on superior colliculus motor bursts as well as perceptual experiments around the time of saccades. Matthias followed up with related work on peri-saccadic perception. And, in separate sessions, Tong talked about her work on the neural basis for linking microsaccades and attention, and Tanya described new results on the role of the primary visual cortex in the phenomenon of saccadic inhibition.
We look forward to publications on all of these topics in the near future!
