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)
Postdoctoral Visitor- Mohammed Shams
We would like to welcome Mohammed Shams, who is a postdoctoral researcher from Patrick Cavanagh’s lab in Toronto, and will be visiting the lab until March 1. He is here investigating visual stability during eye movements and the potential role of a recently found illusion called the 'frame effect'. The visit to the rolfslab is … Continue reading Postdoctoral Visitor- Mohammed Shams
Martin back from Sabbatical at Dartmouth College
Martin spent a sabbatical at Dartmouth College, from August 29th to December 31st, 2022. As a Fellow of the Harris Program, he enjoyed numerous scientific interactions with Peter Tse, Viola Stoermer, Patrick Cavanagh, Caroline Robertson, Tor Wager, Matt van der Meer, and their groups at the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. During his time … Continue reading Martin back from Sabbatical at Dartmouth College
Casimir Ludwig concludes his visit with talk: “Grounding cognitive model parameters”
Cas Ludwig, our collaborator from the School of Psychological Science at the University of Bristol spent time the last six months in Berlin working with out lab and Ralf Engbert’s group at the University of Potsdam. He has been a long-standing visitor of Berlin since 2018when he began working with both groups. His research while in Berlin … Continue reading Casimir Ludwig concludes his visit with talk: “Grounding cognitive model parameters”
DGPs (Deutschen Gesellschaft für Psychologie) Conference 2022
Jan gave a talk at the “Action and Time Perception” symposium held in Hildesheim as a part of DGPs. He gave a talk about his research titled “Effect Binding for Undetected Spontaneous Micromovements.” Here, he showed that effect binding may be possible in the absence of voluntary control and may be involved in the awareness … Continue reading DGPs (Deutschen Gesellschaft für Psychologie) Conference 2022
In Press: Foveal vision anticipates defining features of eye movement targets
Update: The paper is now out and available here: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.78106 This is the key paper of Lisa’s PhD. While decades of research have characterized pre-saccadic sensitivity modulations at the target of eye movements, little is known about the concurrent development of visual sensitivity in the pre-saccadic center of gaze. In a series of experiments, we … Continue reading In Press: Foveal vision anticipates defining features of eye movement targets
ECEM- Sven Ohl was awarded an SR Research Early Career Award for the best talk
We are happy to announce that Sven recently presented his talk "What the variations in saccade metrics and visual memory across the visual field tell about saccadic selection in visual working memory" at the European Conference on Eye Movements (ECEM) and was awarded one of the SR Research Early Career Award for the best talk … Continue reading ECEM- Sven Ohl was awarded an SR Research Early Career Award for the best talk
Anna’s new paper: Temporal and Spatial Reference Frames in Visual Working Memory Are Defined by Ordinal and Relational Properties
The advanced publication of Anna’s new paper in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition is now available. Here, it was shown that ordinal and relational transformations in the spatial or temporal structure of object configurations impair memory performance, whereas global transformations do not. Therefore, inter item relations such as the distances between … Continue reading Anna’s new paper: Temporal and Spatial Reference Frames in Visual Working Memory Are Defined by Ordinal and Relational Properties
ECVP 2022
Several members of our lab attended the recent European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP) and presented posters and talks on their research. Olga Shurygina and Nicholas Roth began by holding a tutorial on "Eye movements recording, analysis and modeling”. Olga then presented her poster "Saccade kinematics reflect object-based attention in realistic but not in simplified … Continue reading ECVP 2022
