Vision during eye movements in primates
Save as calendar entry
DPZ-Colloquium
Prof. Dr. Frank Bremmer, University of Marburg, Department of Neurophysics
Abstract
Eye movements challenge visual processing. While the image of external objects moves across the retina during such movements, we perceive the outer world as being stable. Yet, it appears, that this perceptual stability is not complete. Recent studies have shown that spatial processing in the temporal vicinity of voluntary eye movements is not veridical.
In my talk I will present data from neurophysiological studies in awake monkeys aimed at identifying the neural correlate of changes of visual perception during saccadic eye movements. In addition I will present data that we recently obtained in human psychophysical studies on the localization of targets during eye movements.
Targetgroup
