🚨New paper alert!🚨 We make a lot of eye movements. Several per second. Eye movements change the retinal image. A long-debated question in visual neuroscience is how do we track objects across eye movements?! We think it could be relatively simple… 🧵 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Last week I submitted my thesis after working on a massive project for the last 4 years! Couldn't have done it without all the support from the many people who were involved in the project one way or another 😊.

🚨👀 My latest pre-print: "A computational account of real-world attentional allocation based on visual gain fields" We find: 1) attentional allocation is barely perturbed by saccades; 2) prediction is not necessary (gain fields are sufficient!); 3) 🔥 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Privileged to have had the opportunity to present my work on adolescent cognitive development at #cns2023. Being surrounded by inspiring students, researchers, scientists and the like has definitely motivated me to get this PhD thesis submitted in the next 6 months!🤞
