Joan is awarded the AvH Postdoctoral Fellowship
Congratulations to Joan, who just received a Humboldt Research Fellowship to carry out her work on "perceptual vigor" with our lab - stay tuned for new experiments and discoveries on this phenomenon. The fellowship supports researchers from all over the world. For more information, see here: https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/en/apply/sponsorship-programmes/humboldt-research-fellowship.
New preprint on gaze behaviour in dynamic real-world scenes
In this new preprint by Martin and our Science of Intelligence collaborators Nicolas Roth, Olaf Hellwich, and Klaus Obermayer, we show that including object-based attention in models simulating human eye movements improves their ability to closely mimic human gaze behavior.Roth, N., Rolfs, M., Hellwich, O., & Obermayer, K. (2023). Objects guide human gaze behavior in … Continue reading New preprint on gaze behaviour in dynamic real-world scenes
Preprint: Visual routines for detecting causal interactions are tuned to motion direction
Sven and Martin just published this article on bioRxiv examining adaptation effects on perception of causality.Ohl, S. & Rolfs, M. (2023). Visual routines for detecting causal interactions are tuned to motion direction [Preprint]. bioRxiv. [doi] Abstract:Detecting causal relations structures our perception of events in the world. Here, we determined whether generalized or specialized visual routines … Continue reading Preprint: Visual routines for detecting causal interactions are tuned to motion direction
New publication: Attention can be oriented across binocular disparities
PNAS nexus has published this paper by Baptiste Caziot, Martin, and Benjamin Backus, where we mapped the 3D shape of attentional focus on stimuli that were individually offset in both eyes to study binocular disparity.Caziot, B., Rolfs, M., & Backus, B. (2023). Orienting attention across binocular disparity. PNAS nexus, 2(10), pgad314. [link] [pdf] Abstract:The spatial … Continue reading New publication: Attention can be oriented across binocular disparities
Martin’s Preprint released: 7+ Years in the Making
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
Summer school in Neuroscience
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
European Summer School in Sensory Neuroscience Starts today!
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!
Lisa’s PhD defence
Lisa recently defended her PhD thesis and graduated with summa cum laude. Lisa's successful defence and all of the research she completed during her PhD is a testament to her dedication, hard work, and brilliance. We are very proud to have been a part of her journey and are excited to see the contributions she … Continue reading Lisa’s PhD defence
New preprint on active foveal processing
In a new article that we just pushed out as a preprint to bioRxiv, Lisa and Martin show that the conspicuity of the saccade target (i.e., its contrast / signal-to-noise ratio) influences the magnitude & time course of pre-saccadic foveal prediction. This is a follow-up to our recent paper on foveal prediction.Kroell, L. M. & … Continue reading New preprint on active foveal processing
