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.
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.
Chen presents his research results at this year’s society for neuroscience conference.
Our students are participating in the graduate student neuroscience conference of Tuebingen.
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.
