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

The DPZ-colloquia are open to anyone interested.
