Our lab participated in this year’s annual retreat of the DFG-funded Special Priority Programme SPP 2205: Evolutionary Optimization of Neuronal Processing, which took place in Göttingen, Germany. This is the first retreat of the second funding period of the program. In both this and the previous funding period, our lab’s involvement in the SPP was[…]

Our lab participated in this year’s 4th Baltic Biophysics Conference, which took place in Kaunas, Lithuania. Our lab’s work was featured in a special session on visual neuroscience, with talks about the superior colliculus (SC) and the primary visual cortex (V1). In this session, we got a chance to document our extensive characterization of the[…]

We have a new paper just published in the Journal of Vision. The paper investigates the phenomenon of microsaccadic suppression of peripheral visual sensitivity. In this phenomenon, it is known that peripheral locations away from the line of sight experience a massive reduction in the ability to process visual stimulus onsets, especially if these onsets[…]
