Past Events
Hybrid Colloquium: Compensatory oculomotor strategies in central vision loss: Insights from simulated scotoma and visual training
Thursday, March 30th, 2023 – 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Macular degeneration (MD) represents one of the main causes of vision loss and a serious health concern worldwide. Late-stage MD leads to the development of a region of retinal blindness (scotoma)…

Hybrid Colloquium: Studying representational dynamics in statistical perception
Tuesday, March 28th, 2023 – 2:00pm to 3:00pm
Abstract - To overcome variability, estimate scene characteristics, and compress sensory input, perceptual systems pool sensory data into statistical summaries. Despite growing evidence for…
*Special Time* Hybrid Colloquium: Brain plasticity in people born blind: Individual differences of plasticity and sight restoration
Monday, March 27th, 2023 – 4:00pm to 5:00pm
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…
Hybrid Colloquium: The early life of an extraocular motor neuron: from birth to disease to function
Thursday, March 23rd, 2023 – 12:00pm to 1:00pm
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…
Hybrid Colloquium: Cerebellar contributions to visual attention and working memory
Thursday, March 2nd, 2023 – 12:00pm to 1:00pm
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…
