Chen presents his research results at this year’s society for neuroscience conference.

We had the fourth CIN-NIPS joint symposium during this week, in which colleagues from the NIPS in Okazaki, Japan visited. CIN and NIPS faculty gave talks, and there were also poster sessions and laboratory visits.

  Ziad speaks at the Japanese Neuroscience Society Annual Meeting. The speech is in a special symposium titled “Network of Attention in Human and Macaque”, co-organized by our collaborator in Japan, Dr. Masatoshi Yoshida. Other speakers include Dr. Wim Vanduffel and Dr. Katsuyuki Sakai.

Chen and Tian each present their work at the Bernstein Conference on Computational Neuroscience. Tian describes modeling work on microsaccade and saccade timing. Chen presents physiological results from superior colliculus.

Ziad speaks at the NeuroBridges workshop in Gottingen, Germany.

Welcome to our new lab member and PhD student, Joachim Bellet.

Our lab has two posters at the Vision Sciences Society Annual Meeting in Florida. In the first poster, Tian describes human psychophysics related to cueing and the phenomenon of inhibition of return. In the second poster, Chen documents spatial frequency tuning characteristics of primate superior colliculus neurons.

  Our lab is participating in the university’s public open house event (Tuebinger Fenster fur Forschung – Tuebingen Window on Research). We have a booth with eye tracking demos during the day and a Science Slam presentation at the end of the event. The photo shows Chen, Alla, and Tian manning our demo booth.

We presented 3 posters at the German Primate Neurobiology meeting. The meeting was held in Tuebingen this year. Ziad described temporal and spatial response properties of superior colliculus neurons. Alla presented peri-microsaccadic neuronal modulation data. And, Tian described his modeling work on saccade timing.
