Our collaboration with Katy Thakkar and her colleagues at Utrecht University has just assumed tangible shape. Our manuscript "Failure to use corollary discharge to remap visual target locations is associated with psychotic symptom severity in schizophrenia" has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Neurophysiology (which is becoming my favorite journal). In our study, we compared … Continue reading New paper on remapping in schizophrenia
Yarbus-100 keynote article in press in Perception
Last September, Martin had the unique opportunity to participate in a small and most memorable meeting in the Russian woods near Nizhny Novgorod, at the banks of the Volga River. The meeting celebrated what would have been the 100th birthday of Alfred L. Yarbus, a true pioneer of eye movement research. It was organized by some of his former … Continue reading Yarbus-100 keynote article in press in Perception
Back from VSS — thanks for all the good feedback
As everyone is busy writing manuscripts only two of us—Alex and Martin—made it to the annual Vision Sciences Society Meeting in St. Pete Beach, Florida, this year. But the two of us had a productive and inspiring time. Alex and Martin presented a poster on the correlates of visual awareness in microsaccadic inhibition. The resonance was very positive and … Continue reading Back from VSS — thanks for all the good feedback
Our new paper made it onto the cover of J Neurophysiol
Our new paper in on remapping during attentive tracking of moving objects is about to appear in the Journal of Neurophysiology. Martin Szinte, postdoc in Heiner Deubel's lab in Munich and the lead author of the paper, designed a cover illustration that will adorn the journal's next three issues! Click on the image, to have a … Continue reading Our new paper made it onto the cover of J Neurophysiol
We’re participating in the brain awareness week.
This coming Monday (March 16, 2015), and for the second year in a row, we are holding a workshop for high-school students at the brain awareness week. For the second year in a row We really enjoyed it last year and we're excited to go into a second round. The title of our workshop is "Seeing … Continue reading We’re participating in the brain awareness week.
Workshop on inverted encoding models (featuring Tommy Sprague)
We are happy to announce a forthcoming workshop on Inverted Encoding Models for Neural Data. We have invited Tommy Sprague from John Serences group at UCSD to give a workshop on the methods behind his latest work on visual memory and spatial priority maps (see here and here). A review of this work, which includes an overview of … Continue reading Workshop on inverted encoding models (featuring Tommy Sprague)
We welcome two new interns to the lab.
Two fresh minds joined the lab today (see people page). Sandy Hannibal and Stefan Uhrig will both complete a 6-week internship in our lab. With their help, we are hoping to collect some fresh pilot data for our new project on saccadic adaptation. Welcome to the lab, Sandy and Stefan!
New project funded on the dynamics of oculomotor plasticity
We just got a grant accepted, supporting a collaboration with Thérèse Collins (Université Paris Descartes). They needed an acronym, so we named it DOMINION: Dynamics of OculoMotor adaptation and its INteraction with perceptION. That was the hardest part of the work. The project has been selected as one of 13 collaborative projects, co-funded by the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) and the ANR (L’Agence … Continue reading New project funded on the dynamics of oculomotor plasticity
New paper on remapping during attentional tracking
The year starts off great with a new paper accepted in the Journal of Neurophysiology: Szinte, M., Carrasco, M., Cavanagh, P., & Rolfs, M. (2015). Attentional tradeoffs maintain the tracking of moving objects across saccades. Journal of Neurophysiology, manuscript in press. This project started four years ago, when Martin Szinte (the first author) came to work with Martin … Continue reading New paper on remapping during attentional tracking
We have a new logo.
We have a new logo. Studying active vision and cognition, we thought an eye that's looking in an eccentric direction would do the job best. Hope you like it!
