Now I really have FOMO. Gotta make it to the next #IMRF2026

An open-source Modular Online Psychophysics Platform (MOPP) In recent years, there is a growing need and opportunity to use online platforms for psychophysics research. Online experiments make it possible to evaluate large and diverse populations remotely and ...

Augmentation of self-motion perception with synthetic auditory cues People who suffer from vestibular loss or damage have difficulty maintaining balance and perceiving their own motion in space (self-motion). Sensory augmentation of vestibular information, via other s...

If unclear... I'd be happy to explain via zoom or similar

Cause this

To its own percept. So this is really strange. Eg. Visual perception shifts rightward but the neuronal responses shift leftward. So I'm wondering if some interaction between the visual and vestibular receptive fields (supposedly the inputs from earlier layers) which shift in opposite directions can

Not slow...just partial information :). In our paper the visual and vestibular perception shift in opposite directions (in response to a systematic heading discrepancy). In VIP (unlike other areas) the neurons of one cue (vest) shift with the vest percept. But the other cue (visual) shifts opposite

Ok, I get that the model itself doesn't model adaptation. But my thought (perhaps naive) was that a shift in the receptive fields of the different sensory inputs (to the trained, static, model) could elicit this effect

Hi Gunnar,
looks interesting!
I'm wondering if your model can explain another strange phenomenon that we saw in VIP neurons - they recalibrate to multisensory cues counterintuitively - sometimes opposite to behavior (elifesciences.org/articles/828...)?
Can this be explained by the gain modulation?

Thanks!

Thank you!

Cool - thanks!

Hey, how do I find a starter pack (in general - and this one you mention in particular)?

Thanks John!
I'm new here - so this is exactly what I need :)
