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[…]

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.

We have a presentation at the ARVO 2015 annual conference. The work describes a fascinating collaboration with Katarina Stingl and Prof. Dr. Eberhart Zrenner.

  We have two presentations at this year’s annual Vision Sciences Society meeting. In one, Chen describes his neuronal results, and in the other, Tian continues developing his interesting modeling work.

Chen and Tian published an article in the Journal of Neuroscience. In their article, Chen and Tian reviewed an interesting paper on microsaccades by Shlomit Yuval-Greenberg, Eli Merriam, and David Heeger, which was also published in the Journal of Neuroscience.
