Our lab participated in a German-Japanese workshop in Tuebingen, exploring New Directions in Systems Neuroscience. The workshop was organized in coordination with the German DFG and the Japanese AMED funding agencies, with a purpose to bring together systems neuroscientists from the two countries. The overall goal was to identify shared interests for future formal collaborations.[…]
Our lab participated in this year’s 2019 primate neurobiology conference, which took place at the German Primate Center in Gottingen, Germany. Antimo and Matthias both presented talks about their work, and the rest of us presented posters.
Our lab participated in this year’s MüTüZü (Munich, Tuebingen, Zurich) meeting on the oculomotor system. This year’s meeting took place in Munich, and it featured clinical and basic research on topics related to eye movements. The meeting usually involves tours of the local research facilities of the hosting institutions (this year in Munich), and it[…]
We have a new paper in press at the Journal of Neuroscience. In this study, we explored the influences of sudden sensory transients on the initiation of smooth pursuit eye movements. These eye movements are smooth, continuous rotations of the eyeball to follow a continuously moving target, such as a flying bird or a cyclist[…]
Our new saccade and microsaccade detection algorithm is now published here! Please see this post for more information on how to use it. We would be more than happy to answer any questions on downloading and/or using our new system.
We have a new paper published in the Journal of Neurophysiology, and specifically in this journal’s special issue on the role of eye movements in perception, cognition, and action. This is our lab’s third paper in this special issue of the journal!! In this study, we tackled a class of small eye movements that is[…]
We have a new web service that allows you to detect saccades/microsaccades in eye movement data using deep neural networks. You do not need to program the network algorithm yourself. Simply upload data and receive results from the world’s state-of-the-art algorithm for saccade/microsaccade detection! To use the web service, follow this link and upload your data to[…]
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.
