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[…]
Our lab participated in this year’s annual Society for Neuroscience conference, which took place in San Diego, California. We had four different presentations on a variety of topics, including vision around the time of saccades, visual working memory, blindsight, and fine control of saccadic eye movements. The conference was a perfect chance to catch-up on[…]
We have a new paper just published in the Journal of Neurophysiology! The paper appear’s in the journals Special Issue on the Role of Eye Movements in Perception, Cognition, and Action. The paper describes our latest exploration of the phenomenon of peri-saccadic perceptual mislocalization. In this phenomenon, a brief stimulus that appears around the time of[…]
Our lab participated in this year’s Systems Neuroscience Symposium of Tuebingen. Konstantin gave a talk about engaging spatial working memory at the microscopic scale. He described both behavioral results as well as neurophysiological recordings from the superior colliculus. The conference involved multiple topics ranging from motor control to attention.
We’re very happy that one of our recent papers was recommended as being of special significance by F1000 Prime! F1000 faculty member, Brian Corneil, and his Ph.D. student, Rebecca Kozak, highlighted our recent descriptions of spatial frequency sensitivity in the rhesus macaque superior colliculus. They characterized our work as proposing an interesting hypothesis regarding the[…]
Ziad participated in this year’s annual French Vision meeting, which took place in Paris. The meeting featured a variety of interesting topics related to vision like attention, scene understanding, low-vision individuals, and face perception, and it was a great opportunity to experience the current state of vision science in France. Ziad presented work related to[…]
Our lab participated in this year’s CIN-NIPS symposium, which took place right here in Tübingen. The NIPS is the National Institute for Physiological Sciences in Okazaki, Japan, and our institute has been cooperating with them for the last 8 years. We held annual conferences, alternating between Japan and Germany, during which we shared experiences[…]
