We are pleased to share Martins recent preprint: 'Lawful kinematics link eye movements to the limits of high-speed perception'. This preprint encapsulates more than seven years of dedicated work, involving a project that holds significant meaning for Martin. The work serves as the cornerstone of the ERC Research grant and is the result of collaborative … Continue reading Martin’s Preprint released: 7+ Years in the Making

The summer school in Neuroscience ended last Friday. Among 230 applicants, thirty students with different backgrounds came from all over Europe and beyond attended lectures and workshops in Pisa. The summer school was offered for Master’s degree students who were interested in delving into the complexity of the human mind and brain under the guidance … Continue reading Summer school in Neuroscience

We are pleased to announce today as the start of the European Summer School in Sensory Neuroscience! This event, organized by a team of experts, promises to be an enriching experience for all participants. Martin is one of the organizers along with Paola Binda (University of Pisa), Olivier Collignon (UCLouvain), and Morten Storm Overgaard (Aarhus … Continue reading European Summer School in Sensory Neuroscience Starts today!

Congratulations to Martin on his new position on the Board of Directors at the Vision Sciences Society!

Thoughtful discussions, the spark of new projects, cooking sessions, afternoon (polar) plunges, the bike-ride tradition and cat-orials are just some of the memories that can be drawn from the latest rolfslab retreat. We had the pleasure of having our collaborator Jude Mitchell join us during the retreat and give us a keynote lecture on his … Continue reading rolfslab bi-annual retreat

New preprint available by Richard, Mara, Martin and our collaborators from Science of Intelligence Thomas Steel and Jörg Raisch. They found evidence to suggest that there is both a generation and reduction of perceived smears that happens during saccades. Thus, saccadic omission of motion smears can be viewed as a parsimonious visual mechanism caused by a combination … Continue reading preprint on what saccade-induced smear looks like

A new preprint is available for a recent paper Martin worked on in collaboration with Nicolas Roth, Olaf Hellwich, and Klaus Obermayer, who work with him through the Cluster of Excellence through the Science of Intelligence. Through their work, they present a computational framework that can be used to simulate where and when humans decide … Continue reading New preprint on object guided human gaze behavior
