Our lab participated in this year’s annual Bernstein Conference for Computational Neuroscience, which took place in Berlin, Germany.
We presented exciting results from our ongoing collaboration with the lab of Thomas Münch, also located here in Tübingen with us.
In this most interesting collaboration, we are exploring the impacts of rapid eye movements on visual perception. Because eye movements move the image over the retina, dramatic changes in the input to the eye take place whenever we look around, even if the entire world around us is stable. The purpose of the research is therefore to explore how visual representations, both within the retina and beyond in the rest of the brain, are modified whenever we make rapid eye movements. The research is multi-disciplinary in nature, attempting to link neurophysiological mechanisms to perceptual phenomena.
