Abstract - What does the visual cortex do in people born completely blind? Early-onset blindness leads to reorganization in visual cortex connectivity and function, but this reorganization is not…

Abstract - Normal vision relies on exquisite control of the eye movements. Vertebrate extraocular motor neurons control the six muscles that move each eye. We know comparatively little about the…

Abstract- The amount of sensory information we receive at any one moment far outstrips our brain’s ability to process this information. We can effortlessly withstand this deluge of sensory input due…

Abstract: Ophthalmology, visual science, and vision rehabilitation have significant areas of overlap. In this presentation, I want to discuss insights into their interaction and stress aspects that…

Abstract - Attention to low-level visual features can alter the activity of neurons in visual cortex. In principle we expect attention to select the neurons most sensitive to changes in the feature…

Abstract - During walking, people use vision to both create movement plans about future steps and correct the execution of the current step. However, the importance of these types of visual…

Abstract: When Isaac Newton developed calculus in the 1600s, he was trying to tie together math and physics in an intuitive, geometrical way. But over time math and physics teaching became heavily…

Abstract - "AYES is a Belgian-based company that is co-founded by three computer scientists. Our journey started when our visually impaired family friend, Bram, told us about the challenges he faced…
