We have a new book chapter in press on saccades and smooth pursuit eye movements in From Neuron to Cognition via Computational Neuroscience (Edited by Michael Arbib and James Bonaiuto, and published by the MIT Press). This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and it contains lecture slides as well as computational simulation[…]
We have a new paper in press in the international journal, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. This paper is part of our ongoing collaboration with the lab of Prof. Masatoshi Yoshida, from the National Institute for Physiological Sciences in Okazaki, Japan. The paper describes an interesting perspective on the role of the[…]
We are grateful for the “Exceptional” recommendation that Prof. Michele Basso, from UCLA, has made about our recent work! Click on the image for more details: This comes on the heels of another “Exceptional” recommendation about the same work from Prof. Kathy Cullen of McGill University. Our paper itself can also be read here.
…on the critical role of nonhuman primates in medical research. There is also an accompanying brochure on the lifesaving benefits of primate research.
A brief article about our work…
As part of an exciting collaboration with the lab of Brian Corneil at the University of Western Ontario in Canada, our lab has been investigating neural mechanisms for microsaccade generation in cortex. We just published an article in PLOS Biology describing some of the results of this interesting collaboration. In this study, we exploited[…]
Our recent Current Biology paper was recommended by F1000 Faculty Member Kathleen Cullen! Click on the image for details.
Our lab participated in this year’s NeuroTech symposium, which was held in nearby Reutlingen. The symposium itself was a preamble to the 10th Annual International Meeting on Substrate-Integrated Microelectrode Arrays. The topic of the symposium was on “Research for Vision: From Neuroscience to Neurotechnology”, and it featured speeches by several faculty members from our institute,[…]
Araceli Ramirez Cardenas is joining our lab as an assistant for a couple of months. She is now finishing her PhD on representation of numerosities in the brain with Andreas Nieder.
For the last two weeks, we were extremely fortunate to host Prof. Klaus-Peter Hoffmann from Ruhr University in Bochum. It was an amazing experience for all of us to hear first hand stories on a long, highly productive, and highly successful science career! The insights that he had, and the advice that he gave, were[…]
