Our lab participated in this year’s annual Society for Neuroscience conference, which took place in San Diego, California. We had four different presentations on a variety of topics, including vision around the time of saccades, visual working memory, blindsight, and fine control of saccadic eye movements. The conference was a perfect chance to catch-up on[…]
We have a new paper just published in the Journal of Neurophysiology! The paper appear’s in the journals Special Issue on the Role of Eye Movements in Perception, Cognition, and Action. The paper describes our latest exploration of the phenomenon of peri-saccadic perceptual mislocalization. In this phenomenon, a brief stimulus that appears around the time of[…]
Our lab participated in this year’s Systems Neuroscience Symposium of Tuebingen. Konstantin gave a talk about engaging spatial working memory at the microscopic scale. He described both behavioral results as well as neurophysiological recordings from the superior colliculus. The conference involved multiple topics ranging from motor control to attention.
We’re very happy that one of our recent papers was recommended as being of special significance by F1000 Prime! F1000 faculty member, Brian Corneil, and his Ph.D. student, Rebecca Kozak, highlighted our recent descriptions of spatial frequency sensitivity in the rhesus macaque superior colliculus. They characterized our work as proposing an interesting hypothesis regarding the[…]
Ziad participated in this year’s annual French Vision meeting, which took place in Paris. The meeting featured a variety of interesting topics related to vision like attention, scene understanding, low-vision individuals, and face perception, and it was a great opportunity to experience the current state of vision science in France. Ziad presented work related to[…]
Our lab participated in this year’s CIN-NIPS symposium, which took place right here in Tübingen. The NIPS is the National Institute for Physiological Sciences in Okazaki, Japan, and our institute has been cooperating with them for the last 8 years. We held annual conferences, alternating between Japan and Germany, during which we shared experiences[…]
We published a new Dispatch article in Current Biology. In this article, we described recent results in the rodent superior colliculus out of the laboratory of Dr. Karl Farrow, which investigated visual field representations in this brain structure. Comparing properties in rodent and primate superior colliculus is very important, because it is likely that principles[…]
Our lab participated in this year’s annual Bernstein Conference for Computational Neuroscience, which took place in Berlin, Germany. We presented exciting results from our ongoing collaboration with the lab of Thomas Münch, also located here in Tübingen with us. In this most interesting collaboration, we are exploring the impacts of rapid eye movements on visual[…]
Our lab presented two posters about our recent research findings at this year’s European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP), which took place in Italy.
We had a visit from our former Ph.D. student, Chih-Yang Chen. Chen came from Kyoto for about a week, and we discussed follow-up science to the previous publications. Chen also presented some of his Kyoto work to us and our colleagues.
