Congratulations to Jiacheng Hao who completed his Master by Research degree (MSrC) at The University of Edinburgh, with a thesis titled “The effect of top-down processing on saccadic inhibition”. Jiacheng did...
Our latest work on peri-saccadic vision and visual field anisotropies is now available in the Journal of Neuroscience a this link. The paper highlights an interesting difference between anisotropies in visual...
We have a new paper exploring how a range of visual stimuli characteristics (e.g. contrast, spatial frequency, motion etc.) influences saccadic inhibition in non-human primates. The paper is a very comprehensive...
Today we had an amazing lab meeting with the students that joined the lab at the start of the year for their internship. Everyone prepared a very interesting presentation summarizing the...
Together with Prof Hafed, we published a new review article discussing saccadic inhibition, from the discovery of the effect to the how different types of visual stimulation modulate the behavior. We...
Together with Dr Fracasso and Prof Hafed, we published a new article demonstrating that “Peri-saccadic visual sensitivity is higher in the upper visual field“. Human participants involved in a perceptual discrimination...
