Methods and science at the 32nd Annual Oculomotor Meeting MüTüZü

Our lab participated in this year’s annual oculomotor meeting of München, Tübingen, and Zürich, known locally as MüTüZü. The meeting brings together clinicians and scientists from the Southern Germany region interested in eye movements and the vestibular system, and it features an interesting mix of methods developments, scientific observations, and clinical studies. In this year’s[…]

Sun at Neuroscience 2022

Our lab was recently present in sunny San Diego for the 2022 Society for Neuroscience Annual Conference. Besides participating in the Advances in Motor Control Satellite Conference, we also had two other presentations in the main conference. In the first, Matthias Baumann continued to present interesting results on the sensory tuning of superior colliculus motor[…]

Advances in Motor Learning and Motor Control 2022

Our lab presented a platform presentation at this year’s fantastic Advances in Motor Learning and Motor Control Conference, a satellite event of the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting. In our contribution, Matthias Baumann gave a great talk on the topic of sensory tuning in neuronal movement commands. He described a very intriguing new discovery that[…]

CRC’ing in Crete

Our lab participated in an exciting workshop titled “Structured Representations for Efficient and Lifelong Learning in Brains and Machines”. The workshop, which took place on the island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea, brought together a diverse set of speakers and students from different fields at the interface of AI, neuroscience, computer vision, and robotics.[…]

2022 Bernstein Conference in Berlin!

Our lab participated in this year’s Bernstein Conference in Berlin, Germany. The conference is organized annually by the Bernstein Network for Computational Neuroscience, which we are a part of. In this year’s conference, Matthias presented our observations on sensory tuning in superior colliculus neuronal movement commands. This is a highly intriguing discovery: We specifically studied[…]

European Conference on Visual Perception 2022

Our very own Tatiana Malevich gave an exciting talk at a symposium in this year’s European Conference on Visual Perception. The conference took place in Nijmegen (the Netherlands), and the symposium was on the phenomenon of inhibition of return, in which reaction times in attentional cueing tasks can be elevated at previously cued locations. Tatiana’s[…]

Welcome to EPICS!

We have a new GUI tool for our 2020 algorithm to detect cerebellar complex spikes! The GUI tool is called EPICS, for Easy Platform for Identification of Complex Spikes, and it is described in detail at GitHub. We also have a detailed video tutorial for it on YouTube. The paper describing this new GUI tool[…]
