Press release: New paper out in Nature Communications!
We had previously announced our excitement that Martin's preprint ‘Lawful kinematics link eye movements to the limits of high-speed perception‘ had finally been published after 7+ years. Another 1.5 years later, the final paper (with additional data and modeling) has now been published in Nature Communications! You find it here. The wonderful Solveig Steinhardt at … Continue reading Press release: New paper out in Nature Communications!
New publication: An interactive motion perception tool for kindergarteners (and vision scientists)
Aravind Battaje, Oliver Brock, and Martin have just published a short and sweet paper in I-Perception titled “An interactive motion perception tool for kindergarteners (and vision scientists)”. Abstract: We implement Adelson and Bergen's spatiotemporal energy model with extension to three-dimensional (x-y-t) in an interactive tool. It helps gain an easy understanding of early (first-order) visual motion perception. … Continue reading New publication: An interactive motion perception tool for kindergarteners (and vision scientists)

Our event at Brain Awareness Week
Together with Science of Intelligence, we are participating in the Brain Awareness Week! Brain Awareness Week is a global campaign to spark public interest in brain research. In that context, we want to share some of our enthusiasm about (arguably) the human brain’s most important sense: vision. If you have ever wondered how we perceive … Continue reading Our event at Brain Awareness Week
We joined the new PsychToolbox community
The lab has relied on PsychToolbox from the start and we have often reached out to the main developer, Mario Kleiner, for additional functionality and received exceptional support. PsychToolbox is certainly one of the most valuable services to the vision science community. After years of discussions and uncertainty of how it could be made sustainable, … Continue reading We joined the new PsychToolbox community
Book review on “How attention works”
