Curious how tiny eye movements shape the visual input? Our new paper integrates spatiotemporal encoding into the standard model of #earlyvision. We suggest that models may be biased towards purely spatial perspectives—inviting us to rethink our view on early visual mechanisms

Very excited to have @lschmittwilken.bsky.social start today as a postdoc in my lab! If today’s heatwave in Darmstadt is any indication, be prepared for some 🔥 work coming out of this collaboration in the future!

Not tired of talking science yet? Come visit me at 2.45pm in Banyan to learn how we used #drawing to probe #earlyvision in natural scenes. With this approach, we reproduce traditional psychophysics measures, while preserving a rich behavioral dataset for additional analyses #vss #vss2025

Sorry for the spam! Someone recommended a tool to import a selection of X tweets, which turned out to be a horrible idea 🙏🏽

Not tired yet of talking science? Then come visit me at my poster this morning (Mo, 8.30-12.30; Pavilion) to learn about a new #fovealPerimetry that provides new and unexpected insights into visual sensitivity patterns at the foveal scale #vss #vss2024 https://t.co/PxnSwvGI5g

First and foremost, you can find all information about stimupy, what it contains, how to install and use it, and how to contribute to the project here: https://t.co/5M0xx8OidO

So proud to see this published. Discover stimupy – an #openscience Python package to support and automatize creating visual stimuli as used in the study of (early) #visualprocessing. Useful for #psychophysics, computational modeling, and teaching. For details, see this 🧵 https://t.co/KFqwt1cD2b

I hope everyone is having a blast at #vss2023! Consider visiting us at (1) our demo in which you can explore how #stimupy can help you with generating visual stimuli, and (2) our poster in which we ask how edge sensitivity is different from sinusoidal contrast sensitivity. 🧵

Hard to believe that my first week as the newest member of @aplabUR @UofR is coming to an end. Thanks to everyone in- and off-campus for the warm welcome and for all the new, exciting insights! Looking forward to be working with my new amazing colleagues in the year to come🤓

Very excited to give a talk at #ecvp2022 (5pm, Object Perception I) about a very exploratory project in which we wanted to see how re-thinking our idea of retinal images might affect information processing in CNNs

(... yes, there will be images of cats and dogs🐈‍⬛🐕) https://t.co/nsla0bdAOx

First day of #ecvp2022! I am excited to give a tutorial together with @JorisVincent focusing on how spectral analysis is a relevant tool for vision scientists.

If you cannot make it to the workshop, you can explore all the materials interactively here: https://t.co/BGriSpOBmM

Very excited to see my first PhD-related paper being published 🎓 We propose an active model of human edge perception in which edges emerge as a direct consequence of small ocular drift motions and the spatiotemporal sensitivity of the visual system. Check this 🧵 for more info https://t.co/BBfmV3iQMb

Only two more days until #VSS2021. If you are curious about #activevision and how fixational eye movements could contribute to human #EdgeDetection and lightness perception, come and visit me at my poster I43 (Wed 8:00 am EDT | 2:00 pm CEST, Manatee) https://t.co/aJme2qdwHw
