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!

Wiebke in Paris: Joining the Confidence Club

Wiebke just returned from a six-month research stay at the Laboratoire des Systèmes Perceptifs at the École Normale Supérieure supported by a Procope-Mobilität grant. She worked with Pascal Mamassian on incorporating metacognitive measures into her projects on motion perception and sensorimotor awareness. Wiebke made the most of her time in France by engaging with the … Continue reading Wiebke in Paris: Joining the Confidence Club
