Our lab is participating in this year’s joint symposium between our institute and the National Institute for Physiological Sciences (NIPS) in Okazaki, Japan. This symposium is part of a long term collaboration that we are having with our Japanese colleagues. The symposium features several interesting talks and posters by Tuebingen and Japanese colleagues.
Congratulations to Chen for winning the prestigious Attempto Prize of Tuebingen University. Chen won the recognition for his recent Current Biology paper, and he is scheduled to receive his prize and give a talk about his work at the Tuebingen Neurocolloqium seminar series. The press release is here.
Our lab is participating at this year’s annual meeting of the society for neuroscience. Chen and Tian each presents a poster on his work.
A recent article from our lab was featured in a Current Biology Dispatch authored by Dr. Adam Morris.
Ziad participates at this year’s European Conference on Eye Movements in Vienna. He describes recent and ongoing experiments in the lab on the role of areas such as the superior colliculus in representing visual salience, and on how such representation can be altered around the time of eye movements.
Chen and Ziad participate in this year’s Gordon Research Conference on eye movements.
Our lab has a new article that is set to appear in Current Biology. In this work, Chen and Alla studied the impacts of microsaccades on neuronal response gain in the superior colliculus and frontal eye fields. We found a distinct pattern of modulations in both neuronal activity and behavioral performance, which contribute to our[…]
We have a new paper in press at Vision Research. The paper describes results from an exciting collaboration that we have with Prof. Eberhart Zrenner from our Eye Hospital. In this paper, we characterize eye movement patterns of visually-impaired patients who are fixating visual stimuli using an artificial retinal implant. We find that the patients[…]
We are participating in the Primate Neurobiology Conference in Gottingen next week.
At this year’s ModVis 2015 workshop, Ziad will present our model on how microsaccades can be sufficient to account for attentional capture and inhibition of return effects in classic Posner cueing attentional tasks.
