Homo Integralis 1: Motion perception for moving observers

The perception of motion and movement has been studied for a long time, often under very controlled conditions, in dark rooms, with the head stabilised. However, human perception mo more...

Homo Integralis 3: Adaptation to (transparent) motion and a moving observer

Motion perception is inherently related to adaptation, and multiple sites of motion adaptation exist along the pathway(s) of visual motion processing. Motion transparency under cond more...

Homo Integralis 2: Transparent motion and the moving observer

Transparent motion or motion transparency is still a rather badly understood phenomenon. One can create spatial motion transparency and temporal motion transparency. The second part more...

Homo Integralis 4: Orienting attention for moving observers

The goal of this project is to understand the role of vestibular input in the orienting of attention. Again, we look at the role of attention under conditions where observers are mo more...

“Local Sleep” in the Awake Brain: An Underlying Cause of Neurobehavioural Deficits in Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

Snorers who are easily distracted and struggle to focus on the job might have a new culprit to blame: Napping neurons. We are investigating why so many of the nation’s snore more...
