Our lab participated in this year’s European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP), taking place in Cyprus. The conference has a long tradition, being organized since more than 40 years. At this year’s conference, we tackled the neurophysiological mechanisms associated with slow ocular position drifts. These are tiny, slow changes in eye position (even smaller than[…]

We have a new paper just published in the Journal of Neuroscience. In this paper, we investigated visual field anisotropies, but specifically when visual stimuli appeared in the temporal vicinity of rapid saccadic eye movements. Past work has shown that visual perceptual performance is either the same or significantly better (depending on the stimulus conditions)[…]

At the end of the systems vision summer school that our lab contributed to recently, there was a very interesting and multidisciplinary research symposium. The symposium covered different aspects of vision and with a variety of techniques. There were talks related to theory, psychophysics, brain imaging, neurophysiology, computational models, and even pictorial art. Our lab[…]

Our lab contributed to this year’s Systems Vision Science Summer School in Tübingen. Our contribution was led by Carlotta Trottenberg, Matthias Baumann, and Tong Zhang, and it covered our experiments on the active vision loop (image below), with a focus on the superior colliculus (the topic of choice for our session at the summer school).[…]
