2026 Doctoral Thesis Prize for Matthias Baumann

Our congratulations go to Matthias Baumann, who is currently the latest PhD graduate of the lab! He was just awarded the 2026 Doctoral Prize by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at our university. The prize was presented to Matthias at the university’s latest graduation ceremony this summer. Matthias had submitted an outstanding PhD[…]

Simultaneous neuron evidence for much higher covariation with saccade timing in superior colliculus than primary visual cortex visual responses

Our lab has a new paper published in the Journal of Neurophysiology! The superior colliculus (SC) of human and non-human primates receives a large part of its visual inputs via direct anatomical projections originating in the primary visual cortex (V1). Consistent with this, the visual responses of non-human primate SC neurons have long been known[…]
