Confirmed
speakers:
Ad Aertsen, Freiburg, studies the neuronal dynamics of higher brain functions by looking at the spatio-temporal organization of brain activity at many different sites at a time (electrophysiology, modeling).
David
Burr, Florence, works on spatial perception during
eye
movements, preferably saccades (psychophysics). Gemma
Calvert, Bath, works on polysensory integration
and
neuroimaging. Gustavo
Deco, Barcelona, works on the large-scale
architecture
of visual perception, attention and memory. He uses
neurodynamic
modeling of interacting neural populations to account for a wide range
of behavioural, single-unit, and functional imaging data. Heiner Deubel, Andrew
Derrington, Nottingham, studies the
functional peoperties
of neurons in the primate lateral geniculat enucleus,
and relates these results to the perception of contrast, motion, and
color (electrophysiology, psychophysics). Karl
Gegenfurtner, Christof Koch,
Pasadena, works on the neural basis of
consciousness. Concetta Morrone,
Milano, works on the encoding of optic flow and
the separate visual processing in the color and the motion pathways
(psychophysics, computation).
Petra Stoerig,
Düsseldorf works on neuropsychology. Simon
Thorpe, Toulouse, works on object recognition and
the
classification of naturale scenes (psychophysics,
modeling). Stefan
Treue, Göttingen,
works
on the neural correlates of attention in primate visual cortex
(electrophysiology, psychophysics, computation). Heinz
Wässle, Frankfurt, studies the
synaptic
circuits of the mammalian retina using light and electron microscopy,
in
order to understand their role in the transfer and processing of light
signals (anatomy, electrophysiology). |
