New ways emerging from and into the lab in 2020.
We are already one month into the new year, the semester is about to end, and we are preparing a series of new experiments. Time to look back for a moment. Adu, Kai and Yigit have finished their lab rotations with us and are moving on. Also Frederik is heading in a new direction and … Continue reading New ways emerging from and into the lab in 2020.
Welcome to Kai, Yiğit, and Susie
Our team is now complete for the upcoming semester. We warmly welcome Kai Standvoß, a PhD fellow of the Einstein Center Neurosciences, to his lab rotation and Yiğit Erigüç who will do an internship on intra-saccadic vision. And of course, welcome back Susie Bryan who is going to tackle her master's thesis.
New people in the lab—and old people in new positions
The lab is growing. We warmly welcome Lea Krätzig and Aaron Vetter—two new student research assistants in the lab. They will try to fill the big shoes that Clara, Olga, and Jan have left vacant after finishing their studies. No reason to be sad. We are very happy that all three of them will stay … Continue reading New people in the lab—and old people in new positions
Adu and Anna join the lab
A warm welcome to Adu Matory and Anna Melkonyan, who join us during their lab rotation. Both are studying at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience and we are very much looking forward to having them in the lab.
Busy summer: Say goodbye
We say goodbye to Carlos. He was the first member of Martin's Emmy Noether group and since then worked mainly on learning in the oculomotor system. Carlos now joins the group of Simone Kühn at the Max Planck Institute in Berlin. We wish Carlos all the best for this next step. In addition, two of … Continue reading Busy summer: Say goodbye
Busy summer: New papers
The new semester at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin is just around the corner. Time to take a quick look at last summer. There are a number of new papers from the lab. Richard and Martin have published two. If you are interested in an fast algorithm to display gaze-contingent stimuli, then the following paper will be … Continue reading Busy summer: New papers
New J Neuro paper with Katy Thakkar: Structural thalamo-frontal hypoconnectivity is related to oculomotor corollary discharge dysfunction in schizophrenia
The next chapter of our fruitful collaboration with the amazing Katy Thakkar has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Neuroscience. Katy's talented student Beier Yao took the lead on this one. What this is about? People with schizophrenia sometimes experience abnormalities in a sense of agency, which may stem from abnormal sensory predictions about their own … Continue reading New J Neuro paper with Katy Thakkar: Structural thalamo-frontal hypoconnectivity is related to oculomotor corollary discharge dysfunction in schizophrenia
