Thoughtful discussions, the spark of new projects, cooking sessions, afternoon (polar) plunges, the bike-ride tradition and cat-orials are just some of the memories that can be drawn from the latest rolfslab retreat. We had the pleasure of having our collaborator Jude Mitchell join us during the retreat and give us a keynote lecture on his … Continue reading rolfslab bi-annual retreat
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)
New preprint on saccade-induced smear released
Richard, Mara and Martin as well as Thomas Seel and Jörg Raisch are proud to present this new article on bioRxiv, shining light on saccadic omission. On that occasion, congratulations to Mara on her first publication! You can find an interesting thread contextualizing the findings on Martin's twitter.Schweitzer, R., Doering, M., Seel, T., Raisch, J., … Continue reading New preprint on saccade-induced smear released
preprint on what saccade-induced smear looks like
New preprint available by Richard, Mara, Martin and our collaborators from Science of Intelligence Thomas Steel and Jörg Raisch. They found evidence to suggest that there is both a generation and reduction of perceived smears that happens during saccades. Thus, saccadic omission of motion smears can be viewed as a parsimonious visual mechanism caused by a combination … Continue reading preprint on what saccade-induced smear looks like
New preprint on object guided human gaze behavior
A new preprint is available for a recent paper Martin worked on in collaboration with Nicolas Roth, Olaf Hellwich, and Klaus Obermayer, who work with him through the Cluster of Excellence through the Science of Intelligence. Through their work, they present a computational framework that can be used to simulate where and when humans decide … Continue reading New preprint on object guided human gaze behavior
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
