Our lab participated in a highly interesting focused symposium on eye and head movement control systems, which took place in Kyoto, Japan. The symposium was a pre-meeting to this year’s annual Neural Control of Movement Society conference, taking place in Toyama, Japan. The symposium featured varied topics from saccade control, to visual consequences of eye[…]
Our lab participated in a symposium on Active Vision organized by Marburg University. The symposium was made in honor of Klaus-Peter Hoffmann’s 75th birthday. All speakers had an excellent chance to celebrate the highly illustrious career and contributions of Klaus-Peter, and it was an honor and privilege to participate. The symposium was superbly organized by[…]
Our lab participated in this year’s German Neuroscience Conference taking place in Gottingen. We were part of a symposium on early visual selection, highlighting new results out of the Robust Vision Collaborative Research Centre that we are a member of. Ziad described our results on “a vision for orienting in the primate superior colliculus”!
Our lab participated in a German-Japanese workshop in Tuebingen, exploring New Directions in Systems Neuroscience. The workshop was organized in coordination with the German DFG and the Japanese AMED funding agencies, with a purpose to bring together systems neuroscientists from the two countries. The overall goal was to identify shared interests for future formal collaborations.[…]
Our lab participated in this year’s 2019 primate neurobiology conference, which took place at the German Primate Center in Gottingen, Germany. Antimo and Matthias both presented talks about their work, and the rest of us presented posters.
Our lab participated in this year’s MüTüZü (Munich, Tuebingen, Zurich) meeting on the oculomotor system. This year’s meeting took place in Munich, and it featured clinical and basic research on topics related to eye movements. The meeting usually involves tours of the local research facilities of the hosting institutions (this year in Munich), and it[…]
We have a new paper in press at the Journal of Neuroscience. In this study, we explored the influences of sudden sensory transients on the initiation of smooth pursuit eye movements. These eye movements are smooth, continuous rotations of the eyeball to follow a continuously moving target, such as a flying bird or a cyclist[…]
Our new saccade and microsaccade detection algorithm is now published here! Please see this post for more information on how to use it. We would be more than happy to answer any questions on downloading and/or using our new system.
We have a new paper published in the Journal of Neurophysiology, and specifically in this journal’s special issue on the role of eye movements in perception, cognition, and action. This is our lab’s third paper in this special issue of the journal!! In this study, we tackled a class of small eye movements that is[…]
We have a new web service that allows you to detect saccades/microsaccades in eye movement data using deep neural networks. You do not need to program the network algorithm yourself. Simply upload data and receive results from the world’s state-of-the-art algorithm for saccade/microsaccade detection! To use the web service, follow this link and upload your data to[…]
